Shore Erosion Control

Shore Erosion Control is sponsored by Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Watershed & Climate Services. This program provides assistance to waterfront property owners to resolve shoreline and streambank erosion problems. It offers technical and financial assistance for the design and installation of shoreline stabilization and streambank restoration projects.

aspx Is this a rolling date? : The Chesapeake & Coastal Service works with federal, state and local governments, conservation groups and private citizens to apply innovative best management practices that reduce harmful run-off from entering the State’s waters.

Living Shorelines: Living shorelines are the result of applying erosion control measures that include a suite of techniques that can be used to minimize coastal erosion and maintain coastal process. Assistance is provided by CCS’s Shoreline Conservation Service staff through site visits and evaluations, problem assessments and recommended solutions.

student at the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. For her dissertation, she is focused on small shrimp-like crustaceans called mysids – an understudied yet important part of many estuarine and coastal food webs.

Featured Research Project Developing a habitat model for mysids, an important link in Chesapeake Bay food webs Mysids are important mesozooplankton prey for many species of fish in Chesapeake Bay and are an important link in transferring energy from lower to upper trophic levels.

Mysids also serve as biological vectors for benthic-pelagic coupling due to their diel vertical migration and omnivorous prey-switching behavior, which makes mysids important regulators of food web architecture. Despite their central role in coastal food webs, surprisingly little is known about mysid ecology and dynamics in Chesapeake Bay.
