Native Shorelines is a turn-key provider of Living Shorelines to private landowners, communities, institutions, and any riparian landowner experiencing shoreline erosion. We handle the entire process from initial landowner outreach through permitting and installation. We offer Living Shorelines that are an environmentally superior, competitively priced alternative to hardened bulkheads and seawalls. As a more effective and environmentally sound solution, Living Shorelines can improve water quality, provide fisheries habitat, increase biodiversity, and promote recreation. Native Shorelines utilizes its patent-pending QuickReef modules which are made from predominantly native materials. Installation is conducted by hand, wherever possible, and integrated within the landscape to minimize disruption to the existing conditions at the site. Our QuickReef modules act as natural barriers to wave energy, actively trap sediment, and allow marshes to accrete and adapt as sea level rises.
