The photos show a perspective, from the water and land, of mangroves planted with Riley Encased Methodology. This previously eroding shoreline has been stabilized by the application of REM and the mangroves eliminate the need to harden the shorline with bulkhead or riprap. These mature trees protected the shoreline during the devastating Florida 2004 and 2005 Hurricane seasons, which included Hurricanes Jeanne, Frances and Wilma (category 2 and 3 storms).
