Description:Key Takeaways:
Over a 60-year time period, implementing a living shoreline is more economically efficient than repeatedly replacing a bulkhead. : Even if the initial cost of a living shoreline is 3.25 times the initial cost of a bulkhead, the living shoreline is still more efficient over a 60-year time period. : Most benefits of implementing a living shoreline come from avoided bulkhead maintenance and repair costs. : The costs of this project were significantly less than other comparable living shoreline projects due to the small size of the Camp Wilkes living shoreline and the unique multi-organizational partnership involved in its implementation
