Friday, August 10, 2007PS 72-82: Successful bioengineering techniques on large rivers
Mickey Marcus, New England Environmental, Inc.
The ecological restoration of eroding riverbanks can be stabilized using a geomorphic approach, or by using soil bioengineering techniques. On large river systems, geomorphic techniques using natural channel design principals can be difficult to build. We have found over the past 15 years that a combination of soil bioengineering bank stabilization techniques, and natural channel design techniques can be very effective in the long term stabilization of eroding banks. This poster demonstrates several techniques which have been used on the Connecticut River in Massachusetts to stabilize eroding banks using both soil bioengineering and natural channel design techniques.
