LIVING SHORELINE

Living Shorelines: A Natural Solution for Southern MD's Coastlines

At Ward's Marine, we understand the importance of protecting our precious shorelines in Southern Maryland. Rising sea levels, erosion, and habitat loss are ongoing challenges for our coastal communities. Traditional bulkheads, while seemingly effective, can have detrimental impacts on the environment. 

This is where Living Shorelines come in! Living Shorelines are a natural and sustainable approach to shoreline management that utilizes natural materials and vegetation to provide erosion control, improve water quality, and create valuable habitat for fish and wildlife. 

Benefits of Living Shorelines in Southern Maryland:

• Enhanced Erosion Control: Living Shorelines utilize a combination of plants, stones, and other natural elements to buffer waves and prevent erosion. 

• Improved Water Quality: Living Shorelines promote healthy ecosystems by filtering pollutants and runoff before they reach the water. 

• Habitat Creation: Living Shorelines provide essential breeding and nursery grounds for fish, crabs, and other aquatic species. 

• Increased Aesthetics: Living Shorelines create a beautiful and natural transition from land to water, enhancing the beauty of your waterfront property. 

• Long-Term Cost-Effective: Living Shorelines require less maintenance compared to traditional bulkheads and can adapt to changing environmental conditions.
