Shoreline Restoration Project Objectives
1. Control water run-off and boat wake erosion that is eating away at your shoreline and decreasing the amount of land you have.
2. Remove non-desirable vegetation from the shoreline and replace it with native, aquatic vegetation that preserves shoreline health.
3. Create a natural looking shoreline that promotes attractive yet natural growth and beauty that will protect and restore your shoreline.
4. Provide a shoreline that promotes the natural activity, movement, growth, and reproduction cycle of fish and wildlife.
