Recycled Glass for Coastal Erosion Prevention
Recycled glass can be used to create a medium for plant growth, helping with coastal restoration projects.
A mixture of glass sand and sediment allows coastal plants to grow, making it beneficial for restoration and recycling efforts.
- Researchers are studying the effects of using recycled glass in coastal restoration.
- A comparison is being made between an island made from dredged Mississippi River sediment and one made from a mix of ground recycled glass and sediment.
The use of recycled glass can help with revegetation projects, particularly in areas like a southeast Louisiana swamp that was restored with freshwater.
Healthy swamps can serve as a natural barrier to slow hurricanes, making them a crucial part of coastal erosion prevention.
