<\/a>Bioengineering is a time-tested method of restoring damaged terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. It emphasizes structures built of live plants, combined with technical fabrics, gravel, soil, wood and rock, as the basic building blocks that establish the restoration process. These techniques create strong living structures that establish a powerfully resilient riverbank which grows even stronger over time, and on its own, continues the healing process that leads to a long-term stable, self-sustaining, plant and animal riverside community that is uniquely fish-friendly.<\/p>\n

With bioengineering, living materials bind structures together to prevent failure. Flexible stems trap fine sediments to produce significantly cleaner water while building up riverbanks and terraces to help restore a properly functioning riparian and river system segment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
