“…Successful vegetative stabilization was achieved in a variety of intertidal environments at a fraction of the cost required for comparable structural protection (Woodhouae, Seneca, and Broome, 1972, 1974, 1976. Based upon this work, shoreline stabilization studies were initiated in Chesapeake Bay (Garbisch, et al, 1973;Garbisch, Woller, and McCallum, 1975), Calveston Bay (Dodd and Webb, 1975;Webb and Dodd, 1976), and San Francisco Bay (Knutson, 1975;U.S. Army Engineer District, San Francisco, 1976;Knutson, 1976;Newcombe, et al, 1979).…”
