This presentation is part of the Rock: It's Not Just for Revetments Anymore organized session.
The Township of Chesterfield, Michigan had a tough decision to make regarding a failing seawall along one of their public parks. The choice was to replace the seawall with another or find an alternative solution. In partnership with the Great Lakes Commission and NOAA, an alternative solution was designed to naturalize the shoreline and install offshore habitat shoals for protection. Implementation of this project has resulted in 740 feet of softened shoreline and 3.2 acres of restored nearshore habitat.
