Abstract

Sea level rise threatens cultural resources at the Wormsloe State Historic Site.Green infrastructure techniques known as living shorelines offer protection from coastal erosion, enhance environmental conditions and can adapt to sea level rise when located properly. This research developed a living shoreline suitability pilot model to determine the most suitable locations for living shoreline placement at the Wormsloe State HistoricSite. Then, the model was compared to oyster recruitment data collected in the waterways tested in the suitability pilot model. The combination of recruitment data and suitability results determined that living shorelines could be implemented around the Wormsloe State Historic Site. The results display that living shorelines are suitable for the shorelines around Wormsloe and could be a successful climate adaptation strategy for the future.
