Georgia Conservancy will implement this living shoreline project to combat erosion along the tidal stream’s banks using bioengineered materials and native vegetation. By promoting oyster recruitment and natural stabilization, the project will restore ecological function while preserving the park’s recreational and community value. Additionally, it will protect a nearby water supply wellhouse from further erosion. As a recommended action in the Shoreline Protection Implementation Plan, the project aligns with the South Atlantic Salt Marsh Initiative’s goal to expand living shorelines. Expected benefits include habitat restoration, improved water quality, community resilience, and educational outreach.
