The shoreline restoration project along the Bayou Grande in Escambia County, Florida was led by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) in collaboration with NOAA. The project used oyster bags, coir fiber logs, and native plants to protect 1,000 linear feet of shoreline. Upland areas along the shoreline were graded before constructing the oyster reefs and planting. All plants used in the project were sourced from FDEP’s Restoration Nursery.
