Living Shoreline vs Bulkhead

When purchasing a bayfront or lagoonfront property on LBI or Manahawkin, the home would typically have a wood/vinyl bulkhead. While this is considered the "norm", it is important to know that you have options. One option that provides numerous benefits to your property and the environment, would be the use of a living shoreline. A living shoreline is defined as, "a green infrastructure technique using native vegetation alone or in combination with low sills to stabilize the shoreline." Check out the graphic below to learn more about living shorelines and how they would affect your property.
