2 outline A. Some of the history of living shorelines B. mature living shorelines C. Science of living shorelines D. young living shorelines E. A living shoreline project which is killing the shoreline! Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 2
3 Alabama: 60 miles of Gulf beaches and 600 miles of bay and bayou shorelines! Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 3
4 Natural shorelines of Mobile Bay Pelican Point Daphne Bayfront Park Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 4
5 hardened shorelines of Mobile Bay Eastern Shore Mullet Point area Alabama Port County Park Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 5
6 Progression of the Typical Response to Bay Erosion Loss of intertidal area due to passive erosion from Douglass & Pickel (1999) Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 6
7 % of shoreline armored population from Douglass & Pickel (1999) Rate of increase in armoring similar to increase in population Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 7
8 IMPLICATIONS? The tide don t go out no mo! walking playing oysters jubilees Is this the fate of our urban estuaries? from Douglass & Pickel (1999) Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 8
9 Today, 40% of Mobile Bay s shoreline is armored. 70% not armored Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 9
10 What is a Living Shoreline? Living shorelines A shoreline management practice that provides erosion control benefits; protects, restores, or enhances natural shoreline habitat; and maintains coastal processes through the strategic placement of plants, stone, sand fill, and other structural organic materials (e.g. biologs, oyster reefs, etc). June 9, 2012 Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 10
11 Mature living shorelines* Type 1: goal was to emulate sandy natural shorelines in constructed alternatives to bulkheads * more than 10 years old, indeed built before living shoreline term Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 11
12 Demonstration project of an alternative to bulkheads on bay shorelines Brookley headland beach project built Aug 1998 two low elevation rock headland breakwaters 3000 m 3 sand fill survived Hurricanes Georges, Ivan, Katrina Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 12
13 Pocket beaches and headland breakwaters (an alternative to bulkheads on bay shorelines) Brookley headland beach project September 2003 Short structures can stabilize longer stretches of shoreline more natural shoreline than a bulkhead - NOTE MARSH BEHIND ROCKS! Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 13
14 Project is 15 years old now Brookley headland beach project 2011 Today, this would be a vertical bulkhead with riprap at the base of it if not for this alternative pocket beach. Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 14
15 a sandy beach as an alternative to a bulkhead Marriott s Grand Hotel Resort, Mobile Bay, Point Clear, Alabama an engineered pocket beach built rock headland breakwaters 6000 m 3 sand fill Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 15
16 a sandy beach as an alternative to a bulkhead Marriott s Grand Hotel Resort, Mobile Bay, Point Clear, Alabama Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 16
17 Pocket beach constructed in front of bulkhead/seawall Marriott s Grand Hotel Resort, Mobile Bay, Point Clear, Alabama Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 17
18 Pocket feeder beach and artificial headland concepts in Fairhope, AL Saved this live oak tree and bluff south of Pier St. boat ramp - threatened by erosion in Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 18
19 Mature living shorelines* Type 2: goal was to emulate fringe marshes in constructed shoreline stabilization projects * more than 5-10 years old, indeed built before living shoreline term Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 19
20 Dog River Constructed Marsh built 2003 Wave fence sand fill Plantings Dog River Clearwater Revival Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 20
21 Constructed wetland behind a wave fence Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 21
22 The Science of Living Shorelines Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 22
23 Elements of a Successful Living Successful Living Shoreline Projects are a Combination of Elements Shoreline Design Knowledge of the local physical coastal processes and conditions of the site Goals for the desired stabilization and habitat enhancement/creation Application of engineered coastal structures and engineering design Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 23
24 Science and engineering of Shoreline Stabilization Say, Headland Breakwaters Technology has been in the coastal engineering literature for decades e.g. Hardaway and Gunn (1991), Silvester (1987), Bodge (1991) Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 24
25 Science and engineering of marsh construction Texas example photo from Aspelin (2007) Say, how much wave action can a marsh tolerate? Is a breakwater structure needed? Over-design can needlessly restrict ingress and egress Under-design can lead to poor performance Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 25
26 Engineering of breakwaters technology dates to D-Day! Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 26
27 The Science of Wave Diffraction around nearshore breakwaters Goda s (1990) diffraction method applied to Dog River, Alabama wave fence Mature vegetation lines match diffracted wake height lines well from Dixon (2010) Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 27
28 Some younger Living Shorelines Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 28
29 Little Bay Marsh Project Overview Finished in 2010 $3 million construction 1.3 km long Unique breakwater system designed with laboratory tests Largest marsh restoration/protection project in Alabama history Award-winning project Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 29
30 PROJECT LOCATION Bayou LaBatre, Alabama Along the north shore of Mississippi Sound Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 30
31 100 m of shoreline recession (average) 1954 peninsula breach began 15 m wide (1955) expanded to 800 m wide (2008) 2008 Bayou la Batre Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 31

35 Coastal engineering analysis Breakwaters are needed for marsh grass survival Roland and Douglass (2005) Evaluation of existing nearby shorelines after Roland and Douglass (J. Coastal Res., 2005) Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 35
36 So-called Wave Attenuation Devices, (WADs) were to be considered as a design alternate: Multiple individual concrete units placed as a breakwater But there was no available transmission data Florida Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 36
37 Wave transmission tests were conducted for the WADs in the University of South Alabama wave basin 6 m x 9 m x 0.9 m 1:5 scale models of WADs Monochromatic waves burst method Modified K t definition ( influence coefficient of Takayama et al. 1985) Different configurations and depths (and H, T) Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 37
38 RESULTS: Laboratory Tests of Wave Transmission though Wave Attenuation Devices 40% < K t < 90% depending on: Emergence (depth) configuration Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 38
39 RESULTS: Laboratory Tests of Wave Transmission though Wave Attenuation Devices Envelope of WAD data Stone breakwaters (van der Meer & Angremond 1992) Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 39
40 The lab test results led directly to two project design decisions (changes): 1. Increased structure height to 1.8 m (6 ft) 2. Used the most dense configuration of 2- rows of WADs, staggered and closely spaced Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 40
41 The WAD design alternate was selected and constructed: Constructed off site and barged 1.8 m tall (6 ), 3 m X 3 m bottom (10 x 10 ), 1.5 m x 1.5 m top (5 x5 ) Open bottom, open top, circular holes on 4 sides 7.2 metric tonnes each (16,000 lbs. ) 546 WADS were used Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 41

63 This so-called living shoreline project is actually killing the shoreline! Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 63
64 This so-called living shoreline project is actually killing the shoreline! not reducing erosion rate Two research papers say that it is! the conclusions of Scyphers, et al (2011) and The Nature Conservancy (2013) are not correct. They are incorrectly evaluating their data They biased their data unknowingly AND, it does not reduce wave energy to levels a marsh grass can tolerate. i.e. Roland and Douglass (2005) Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 64
65 This so-called living shoreline project is actually killing the shoreline! the project is actually accelerating or causing additional erosion and wave setup induced destruction of the marsh Trapped sand causing erosion at flanks Reef setup locally raising surge level in storms which is rapidly destroying landward marsh It has changed the character of the shoreline from a reasonably stable eroding sandy beach to a rapidly eroding dead marsh platform. Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 65
66 This so-called living shoreline project is actually killing the shoreline! Designed in ignorance of, or disregard for, established textbook principles of o coastal sediment processes sciences (Komar 1998) o coastal engineering (Sorensen 2006) o Existing literature on wave tolerance Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 66
67 summary A. Some of the history of living shorelines B. mature living shorelines C. Science of living shorelines D. young living shorelines E. A living shoreline project which is killing the shoreline! Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 67
68 Conclusions A. We need more living shorelines shorelines which function more naturally and preserve the habitats and environs we love B. Living Shoreline designs which include coastal engineers and physical scientists on the design teams, perform better. C. Some so-called living shoreline projects can cause serious ecosystem damage if poorly designed Douglass - May Living Shorelines - NY Sea Grant 68
