| Short Description |
Property owners continue to have legitimate concerns about the effect of erosion on their land, therefore considerable interest has arisen in engineering measures that protect property from serious erosion, yet have less impact on shoreline ecology and on nearby beaches. This report was prompted largely by a desire to publicize these efforts and to encourage additional work in this area. (Also see abstract below) | |

| Abstract | Long Description |
Property owners continue to have legitimate concerns about the effect of erosion on their land, therefore considerable interest has arisen in engineering measures that protect property from serious erosion, yet have less impact on shoreline ecology and on nearby beaches. This report was prompted largely by a desire to publicize these efforts and to encourage additional work in this area. The report describes fifteen projects from around Puget Sound where creativity has been applied in reducing shoreline erosion. Applications include beach nourishment, bioengineering and other vegetation techniques, structural use of drift logs and woody debris, and intertidal benches. Ultimately, we need design standards and well-documented demonstrations of these technologies, but in the meantime, we hope this report helps document existing sites, increases awareness of the basic approaches, and encourages additional innovative, environmentally sound projects.
