Havre de Grace Installs Deepwater Living Shoreline

With funding from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, NWF partnered with the City of Havre de Grace to restore 356 linear feet of living shoreline. The new deep-water living shoreline responds to erosion, reduces flooding, and provides essential habitat for wildlife, including dunes, which led to 1.05 acres of new beach habitat. Overall, nearly one quarter of an acre of tidal marsh was restored, and 4,000 native plants and 10 new trees were planted.
