Living shoreline with berm.
The Network for Engineering with Nature (N-EWN) is a partnership between the University of Georgia's College of Engineering and the Army Corps of Engineers. As landscapes change and experience the impacts of climate change, N-EWN seeks to promote nature-based infrastructure, or engineered structures that imitate nature such as living shorelines. This series of graphics was created for a landscape perception survey to understand public perceptions of different shoreline stabilization practices. They were designed to not only show practices to scale, but also quickly understand their benefit with a cross-section diagram and icons displaying their function.
Living shorelines are engineered systems that are designed with gentle slope and lined with bagged oyster substrate. Over time, the bagged oyster shell can attract oysters and develop into an oyster reef.
