20. ABSTRACT (CaittBaue am rev^rmm sfete ft rt»e»a»ary ami Identify by block numbar) 



This report is published to provide engineers and scientists with guidelines 

 on using coastal marsh vegetation as a shore erosion control measure in coastal 

 regions of the United States. This erosion control alternative is suitable for 

 relatively sheltered shorelines such as those found on bays, sounds, and estuar- 

 ies. For various reasons this alternative has not been found to be effective in 

 the Great Lakes, Alaska, or Hawaii. Criteria are provided on (1) determining 

 site suitability, (2) selecting plant materials, (3) planting procedures and 

 specifications, (4) estimating project costs, and (5) assessing Impact.
