The U.S. Army of Engineers document entitled: "Civil Works Program" states that the Corps of Engineers "looks for the most economical, environmentally sound and socially acceptable solutions to shore protection." (2008) According to the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, shore protection projects "are usually cost-shared with the State, the local jurisdiction where the project is located or both." SUMMARY & CONCLUSION

The various options for shorelines and the accompanying designations which have been briefly related in this study as those designations and criteria relating to costs and options available for shoreline preservation and protection when compiled into a guidebook will serve greatly to expedite necessary shoreline construction projects and is an endeavor worthy of the time and cost of pursuit.
