Book excerpt: Planting mangroves for stabilizing man-made marl shorelines in the Florida Keys is an environmentally preferred alternative to seawall and riprap construction. In June 1977, 126 mangroves were planted along three marl shorelines to determine the relative significance of (a) tidal height, (b) degree of exposure to erosion forces, and (c) plant size upon growth and survival. This report documents findings for plant survival and growth after 5 years.
