Tree roots are underminded by wave action and eventually succumb while the shoreline is eroded.
Eroded shoreline with tree snags
Stone rip-rap installed by the property owners in an attempt to prevent shoreline erosion. Hardened edges along the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers reduces natural shoreline habitat that fish and other marine animals depend on for food and shelter.
