Work taking place below the regraded area was all be done by hand to minimize disturbance to existing vegetation and potential impacts on the adjacent marine wetland.

A mix of deep-rooted species like elderberry and willow were planted as live stakes while net-like, shallow-rooted species of salt-tolerant grasses.

The eroding area was cut back and boulders were used to retain areas above while live stakes and seed were used below.
