Shoreline canopies
Low-canopies assist in immobilizing sediment, providing some protection for coasts in cases of erosion. The vegetation evidenced by the presence of canopies, creates stabilization. Through experiments with consideration to wave impact, depth, roots/stress, and distance from shore, it was observed that there is a decline in erosion when there is a seagrass bed or canopy.
