Construction has started on the Long Point Shoreline Resilience Project in Edgewater, Maryland, aiming to protect 1,600 feet of Selby Bay shoreline. The project addresses significant erosion, which has been occurring at over two feet per year, by utilizing stone sills, large woody debris, and oyster habitat structures to reduce wave energy and enhance aquatic habitats.
Backed by Anne Arundel County and funded by the Chesapeake Bay Trust, this initiative will also support future enhancements such as marsh creation and oyster restoration. The project reflects a commitment to long-term shoreline resilience and community support.
