Living Shorelines

A living shoreline is a way of managing coastal areas to protect, restore, or enhance the habitat. This is done through the strategic placement of plants, stone, sand, and other materials.

Loch Haven has installed several living shorelines along its community property as a way to control erosion, provide habitat for young crabs and fish, and improve water quality in the South River.
