The current state of New Jersey beaches and river banks are deteriorating. There has been around 160,000 cubic yards of sand that has been displaced in a year. This is a concern as it threatens to damage ecosystems and beaches, as well as potentially leading to flooding, runoff, and even infrastructure damage. As a result, it is crucial to address the looming issue of erosion in New Jersey. To help combat erosion in beaches, additional plants such as Bayberry, Bearberry, and Marsh Elder will be planted in the remaining dunes and beaches that are affected most by erosion. These plants will be able to protect dunes, beaches, and vulnerable marshes from currents and other weather phenomena that may cause erosion. The implementation of specific vegetation will prevent the continued erosion and loss of soil, while adding to the natural ecosystem. Roots strengthen the sand and soil to provide a stranger barrier against erosion while providing an aesthetically pleasing environment and an improved ecosystem.
