Lessons Learned• Start permitting early, be persistent with your permit
writer, and try to permit multiple habitat projects together.• We need to do better as a community sharing ideas and
new designs for living shorelines. • Never underestimate how much work you can get done
with volunteers. • Make sure you have a reliable contractor who is willing to
use these materials. • Always be looking for better materials and ways of
building these projects (e.g. gap designs).• Use high density coir logs
