Conceptual diagram illustrating a hardened shoreline vs a natural shoreline. The hardened shoreline has concrete rip-rap or a sea wall. It can be very costly and can also interrupt natural shoreline processes and sand movement that can lead to increased erosion downdrift from the structure. A natural shoreline incorporates native vegetation with a buffer strip of sand and/or fiber logs. It filters runoff and traps sediment, actually widening the beach, and providing valuable shoreline habitat for wildlife.

An overabundance of algae occurs in ponded areas of Pipe Creek, where animal waste from geese washes into the creek. Increased nutrients from the waste causes algae to grow and bloom. Sandusky, Ohio.

The pipes seen in this photo are called tiling. They help transfer excess water from the fields to the creek. Many areas of Old Woman Creek in the headwaters portion are very shallow streams surrounded by farm fields. This small creek area has a buffer around it and then is surrounded by fields. Ohio.
