This chapter provides non-structural and structural practices that stabilize and protect streambanks  and  shorelines  from  the  negative  effects  of  land  erosion.    For  water  quality  purposes—bioengineering  and  non-structural  practices  using  native  vegetation  are  preferred  over conventional “hard armoring” such as riprap, seawalls, and bulkheads.
