Estuarine shoreline erosion exposes a Native American shell midden
Estuarine shoreline erosion exposes a Native American shell midden beneath the surface of a coastal flatwood forest. Shell middens are the discarded shells and materials from generations of Indigenous people who lived along U.S. coastlines.

Native American shell middens along many coastlines are vulnerable to shoreline erosion
These shells are what remains of a Native American shell midden that is located along an actively eroding shoreline in Apalachicola Bay.

Backbarrier coastline of St. George Island
The estuarine (backbarrier) shoreline of barrier islands in Gulf of Mexico are complex, ecologically diverse habitats that are under threat due to human development, sea level rise, and storms.

Rock breakwaters are used to protect marsh shoreline from erosion
The estuarine shoreline of barrier islands along the Gulf of Mexico are vulnerable to shoreline erosion. Structures, such as this rock breakwater, can be used to protect the shoreline from erosional waves.
