ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for the construction, maintenance and protection of a shoreline having a variable level of water is disclosed. The arrangement utilizes a plurality of ecological-botanical elements (12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 26, and 30 implanted among construction materials (10, 11, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 31, and 32) for stabilization and maintenance of shoreline shape and location. The ecological-botanical elements comprise precultivated, emergent aquatic plants (14) called plant plugs (12) whose roots are held within a water-permeable, biodegradable vegetative carrier system (13). Another ecological-botanical element is a fiber roll (17) comprising slowly decaying fibrous material in which are rooted precultivated, emergent aquatic plants (14). Appropriately arranged combinations of ecological-botanical elements implanted among construction materials stabilize and maintain shorelines.
