 Techniques for shoreUne stabilization with vegetation and the associated environment 

 are presented. Studies were conducted on the adaption of species for shorehne stabilization, 

 use of wave-stiUing devices, and effects of fertilizers along the north shore of East Bay, 

 Texas.

This report contains the results of experiments in the use of marsh vegetation to protect 



eroding shorehnes, a laboratory study on mineral nutrition of Spartina altemijlora, and an 



additional year of monitoring several trials previously described by these authors.

 This study was conducted to continue monitoring foredunes formed from grass planting 

 during 1969 to 1973 on north Padre Island beaches. The report summarizes data obtained 

 from elevational profiles and vegetative transects at one natural foredune and four 

 experimental foredunes during 1975 and 1976.

 Marsh plants are effective in stabilizing eroding banks in many sheltered coastal areas. 

 This report provides guidelines for (a) selecting plants and planting methods, (b) 

 determining seed application rate and plant spacing, (c) determining fertilization 

 requirements, and (d) estimating labor cost.
