Why is shoreline restoration important?

Protect Your Aquatic Life

Shoreline restoration safeguards the delicate ecosystems within your waterbody. If you are experiencing trouble with erosion control, this can lead to the loss of aquatic habitats and—by extension—a decrease in biodiversity. Restoring your shoreline promotes a stronger habitat for your aquatic ecosystems, thereby maintaining their biodiversity.

Shoreline restoration solutions assist in filtering out nutrient pollution, sediment runoff, and more concerns that would otherwise enter your lake or pond and negatively impact water quality. Preserving water quality is a fundamental tenet of maintaining your waterbody because the poorer the quality, the more harmful your water can be—not just to the health of the humans visiting your lake or pond but also to the vulnerable aquatic ecosystems you’re trying to nurture.

By restoring your shoreline or utilizing erosion control, you are taking steps to preserve your waterbody. Any man-made systems or native plants incorporated into your shoreline will absorb the impact of waves, thereby preventing further erosion to your shoreline. If that’s not enough reason to choose restoration, the loss of your shoreline also means you’re opening yourself up to further harm done to the land near the eroded area. Incorporating barriers in and around your shoreline will safeguard the land nearby your waterbody as well.

Utilizing plants to restore your shoreline has many benefits—especially to the aesthetic appearance of your waterbody. Because native plants seamlessly blend in with the environment you have fostered, this method of shoreline restoration will not only protect your waterbody but improve its beauty. Visually stunning lakes and ponds only serve to increase your property’s curb appeal and leave a good impression on those visiting your land.
