Do coconut coir logs protect shorelines?

Coir logs are natural coconut fiber logs with applications in wetland mitigation, shoreline stabilization and stream bank/channel protection.

How long do coir logs last?

How long do Coir Logs last once they are installed? Aussie Environmental Coir Logs have a two to three year life span before they start to break down and slowly lose their shape. This time-frame allows for plants to establish to protect and stabilise the area in future.

What is erosion control matting?

Erosion control matting is a rolled erosion control product, also known as an erosion blanket. Rolled erosion control products stabilize the soil in order to mitigate erosion and provide an environment for vegetation to establish.

What is a coir roll?

Coir Rolls are an organic living revetment that provide erosion control and rapid vegetation establishment. Salix have developed a range of specific species mixes for use in all types of water bodies.

What do coconut coir logs do?

Coconut Coir Logs are all-natural erosion control products that are designed to help reinforce banks, stabilize slopes, and support other areas prone to erosion. Due to their natural coir fibers, coir logs are often used as an environmentally safe solution for erosion.

What are wattles for erosion control?

Wattles are materials designed and installed to control sediment at construction sites, thus preventing sediments from moving into waterbodies or waterways. Proper installation of wattles can reduce the rate of soil erosion, control sediment on site, reduce stormwater runoff velocity, and also promote water quality.

Do erosion blankets work?

Erosion control blankets prove to be useful when it comes to vegetation since all it takes is proper installation for it to control runoff and erosion on even the most difficult of lands. Erosion control blankets also protect the land from polluted waters coming from eroded soil from other sites.

What is a coir log?

Coir logs (also called coir rolls) are densely packed solutions. They provide strong mechanical support to the soil and prevent it from being displaced by strong winds and water currents. This makes coir logs ideal for installation on stream-banks and slope vegetations.
