Proper monitoring and maintenance is important to the longterm performance of all projects; however it is critically important
for ecologically enhanced shoreline projects.

NRC Decision-makers should appreciate the costs and benefits of the spectrum of
potential solutions to shoreline erosion problems, including potential cumulative
impacts on shoreline features, habitats, and other amenities.
USACE - Consider the full array of measures and account for the full array of benefits
HRSSP Regional demonstration projects/case studies are needed
NYCGIRP Conceptual models and monitoring protocol development, Pilot
project identification, implementation, and monitoring (living laboratory),
Development of rapid assessment and ecosystem models
HRSSP Developing a region-wide consistent set of important parameters would
assist comparisons between ecosystems as well as states. Specifically, but not limited
to the monitoring discussions, funding was identified as a barrier for implementation
of sustainable shorelines.
Problem: Time/Money
Solution: Rapid Assessment
Objective: Develop simple, cheap, but reliable assessment protocols which can be
carried out by a trained non-technical user.

HR Sustainable Shorelines Webinar Series September 16, 2016
Approach
1. Identify factors relevant to living shoreline design
Provide guidance for selecting between alternatives*
2. Describe approaches for determining required parameters
Consider different levels of rigor for different parameters
and projects
3. Provide example of how these parameters influence design
Sills, breakwaters, joint planted revetment, reef balls, living
reef
*Monitoring considered essential for refining this knowledge and
improving guidance for future projects
