 Ecological Features | DESCRIPTION: Ecological features include beaches, polders, vegetated terraces, mudflats, and nearshore reefs. These natural habitat types can sometimes be enhanced with ecologically friendly materials. They are sensitive to the wave environment and water levels, and require careful consideration of these factors to promote Bay habitat and mitigate flood risks. |
