The Carrot Island Living Shoreline project focuses on restoring and protecting the natural shoreline through the installation of wave attenuation structures, bedding stone, geotextile materials, and strategic marsh plantings. Located along the Beaufort waterfront within the Rachel Carson Reserve, this project helps reduce wave energy and shoreline erosion while supporting the restoration of native coastal habitats. Proper installation of the wave attenuation units and associated shoreline stabilization components is essential for long term performance. The project also includes navigation markers and coordinated construction methods suited for sensitive coastal environments.
