Title:

Natural Shoreline Armor Characteristics in the Great Bay

The Great Bay is influenced by tidal forces and exhibits shoreline erosion, endangering saltmarshes and other estuary ecosystems. Throughout the bay, some locations exhibit “natural” armoring. This study focused on particle sampling and armor characteristics to see if any correlation between the sites exists. These characteristics are compared to potential tidal influences to see how stable these armored sites are. The cumulative data aims to influence future design characteristics for living shorelines in estuary systems in New England as well as identifying any potential processes on how these sites occurred.
