Coir envelope installation designed to protect an existing high-end bed and breakfast series of houses from nor’easter storm impacts. The envelopes were 3’ wide x 3’ high and extended approximately 210 lineal feet from the ends of each property. The envelopes were filled with sand and held in place with posts. This is one of the earliest “soft” solutions allowed by the MDEP for stabilizing and protecting a coastal dune. The installation involved installing 5 terrace levels, each 3 feet high starting 3 feet below the beach face and extending to the top of the existing dune on the beach side of the housing structures.
