SUMMARY:Fish Habitat Restoration — Groyne Design and Function in Rivers – Online
DESCRIPTION:Location: Fully online \nErosion control is a common challenge in streambank management\, and selecting the right tools is key to success. Effective bank protection should maximize stability\, minimize environmental impact\, and require little to no maintenance. Rock groynes\, or flow retarders\, provide a versatile solution by harnessing the river’s energy to rebuild banks while offering long-term\, maintenance-free protection when properly constructed. \nIn this MicroCourse\, you’ll explore the design and application of rock groynes\, with a focus on real-world examples of both successful and unsuccessful projects. Through interactive desktop exercises\, participants will gain hands-on experience in designing groynes for streambank protection. Please note: Access to a computer with Google Earth Pro installed is required. \nThis course is ideal for those looking to enhance their expertise in sustainable\, low-maintenance streambank stabilization techniques. \nRecommended pre-requisite: Fish Habitat Restoration — Primer on Stream Hydrology \nCourse will be 4 hours long.
