What are Living Shorelines?
Living Shorelines are nature-based alternatives to conventional hardened structures like bulkheads and revetments that are used to curb coastal property erosion. In contrast to hardened structures, Living Shorelines provide a wealth of natural benefits, are adaptable to future conditions and frequently perform better in storm conditions.

Our Story
The idea that led to the formation of Alabama Living Shorelines, LLC was born from numerous interactions between landowners and other coastal stakeholders, and owner/founder Nigel Temple during his time as a PhD student at Mississippi State’s Coastal Research and Extension Center. During this period, Nigel found many landowners that shared his passion to improve our coastal areas but with limited access to contractors specializing in Living Shorelines designs, permitting and installation. The creation of Alabama Living Shorelines, LLC in 2018 was a response to this need with the goal of helping environmentally-conscious property owners address coastal challenges. In this pursuit, we leverage a combined 20+ years experience in residential construction and landscaping, and over 8 years research experience to deliver structurally- and environmentally-sound restoration and Living Shorelines projects for our clients.
We have the expertise to provide a tailored solution to your environmental needs. Our services are centered around a quality, comprehensive, and budget-conscious approach .
