Integral Nature-Based Living Shoreline Solutions

David Revell, Ph.D. and Sam Blakesley explore this question in a living shoreline project at Rio Del Mar State Beach, attempting to mimic what it might look like if nature had run its course to provide natural erosion defenses to this small part of the Santa Cruz coastline.
