Ep. 162 ShoreLock restores critically eroding coastlines with Blayne Ross

About ShoteLock:

ShoreLocks mandate is to protect and restore critically eroding coastlines through sustainable, proactive coastal maintenance around the globe.

When sand looses its ability to bind with other sand particles, the result is increased erosion. Thus, hydrophobic sand that cannot bind with water  is more easily washed away. ShoreLock promotes that relationship by the retention of interstitial water, facilitating the accretion of sand along the beach.

By promoting hydrogen bonding, a liquid bridge is formed between grains of sand. This liquid bridge increases surface tension and allows natural accretion to occur through tidal wave action. ShoreLock also promotes dewatering below the surface level of the beach to help reduce escarpment.
