ABSTRACT

 

In recent years, geotubes, geocontainers, and other geosynthetic products and materials have

 

been applied in coastal settings for the purpose of coastal protection, coastal restoration, and as part of

 

coastal structures such as windfarms and bridge foundations. Geosynthetics are applied in submerged

 

environments and environments that become partially inundated by tide or storms. This includes artificial

 

reefs or artificially stabilized natural reefs, training walls, geosynthetic groynes, offshore breakwaters, and

 

scour mattresses. Previous studies have identified benefits associated with marine growth on

 

geosynthetic products/materials and have evaluated types of marine growth present and subsequent

 

ecological benefits, however quantification of the amount of marine growth has been limited. Marine

 

growth on geosynthetics in submerged coastal conditions has the ability to remove excess nutrient

 

pollution from water, sequester carbon, and the ability to make these excess nutrients available to

 

predators in the local ecosystem in marine plant and coral form. In order to better understand the growth

 

on these geosynthetic products, Little Environments PLLC conducted a comparative study on a selection

 

of geosynthetic materials, which sought to determine the mass of established marine growth on the

 

various materials. Samples of each geosynthetic were deployed in Taylors Creek, Beaufort, NC for a

 

period of 10 months. After 10 months the samples were exhumed from the trial reef in Taylors Creek,

 

dehydrated, and the mass of the sample evaluated in dry form. Measurement of the dry mass of marine

 

growth, subject to sustained predation, resulted in a range of 1 to 4 kg of marine growth per sq.m.

 

Considering that the plant growth is predominantly nitrogen and carbon based and that there is a current

 

need to sustainably sequester carbon and remove nitrogen from the water column in developing areas,

 

geosynthetic materials can serve as an effective substrate for the purpose of improving water quality and

 

offsetting carbon. Where geosynthetic comprising structures exist or are planned, additional

 

environmental and sustainable benefits may be considered when comparing and considering traditional

 

coastal project approaches, such as rock jetty’s, concrete breakwaters, and seawalls.
