Mitigating Shore Erosion Along Sheltered Coasts
TABLE 4-3 Summary of Ecosystem Services Provided by Natural Coastal Ecosystems as Well as by Commonly Used Techniques to Mitigate Shoreline Erosion
NOTES: The darker symbol (●) represents the highest degree of contribution for the ecosystem service listed while the lighter symbol (○) represents a low contribution. The symbol represents an intermediate contribution and a dash (–) suggests that the ecosystem service in not relevant or nonexistent. Please note that the ecosystem services assigned to techniques to mitigate shoreline erosion are best estimates. Extensive research is still needed to determine the ecosystem services provided by these techniques.
