Physical (beaches) and biological (algae, rooted vegetation, oyster reefs) structures of the shore zone help to dissipate energy from waves and currents…(Coops et al. 1996, Strayer and Findlay 2010, Scyphers et al. 2011).
…narrowing and tidying of the shore zone, shortening and simplification of the shoreline…decrease local biodiversity and rates of many biogeochemical processes.
