Shark River

The Seaview community on Shark River Island in Neptune, New Jersey was experiencing flooding, erosion, and experienced damage from Hurricane Sandy. A failing bulkhead on the shoreline led to severe marsh erosion. The homeowner’s association decided on a hybrid living shoreline made of ECOncrete to protect their community. ECOncrete’s ecologically enhanced articulated concrete block mattresses were used to stabilize the northwest corner of the island, while a sill was placed on an adjacent shoreline to protect current marsh and new plantings. This project protects the community from erosion, storm surges, and sea-level rise while enhancing recreational opportunities and biodiversity of the shoreline.
