What are some common shore protection installation mistakes?
The most common mistake is not paying enough attention to coastal hazards in siting buildings and planning shore protection. In times of high demand for shore protection, many property owners get busy contractors to put in hastily placed windrows of low-quality stone that starts to break up in a few years. The result is temporary shore protection that becomes unstable and ineffective as it disintegrates. Make sure contractors get only high-quality stone for revetments and place it in stable positions to avoid this problem.
