This project aims to inform those involved in shoreline design with precedents and ideas for using a living shoreline approach. This approach proves to be a useful framework and tool for designing sustainable and resilient shorelines. Two sites in the Vancouver region were studied, and their biophysical conditions were described leading to recommendations for focal species and design ideas for each site.
