Coir resists biological degradation in a marine environment
Coir photo-degrades in sunlight Life-expectancy of coir is well-
matched with needs to stabilize sediment sufficiently for establishment of plants in a marine environment
Fringe Marshes can intercept storm energy & stabilize fluctuating beach elevations, which protects nearby upland resources from erosion
