Description:Nothing seems able to stop the pulsing tide from sweeping away our shoreline. Scientists had hoped that artificial seaweed, plastic-like strips anchored underwater, could control erosion along the shore. But in U.S. tests, evidence shows this method is not an effective erosion control alternative. In this paper a coastal engineer summarizes the history, theory and documented results of erosion control projects using artificial seaweed.
