Crowbush Cove Shore Protection Demonstration Project

FY 2025-26 · 2026-02-20

Summary
The project seeks to mitigate coastal erosion and flooding along the north shore of Crowbush Cove, PEI through rehabilitating the existing rock revetment, as well as implementing enhancements to the dune. The exposed rock revetment rehabilitation measures will include extending and raising the existing exposed rock revetment to protect against further erosion. The enhancements to the dune will include implementing beach nourishment, sand fencing and marram grass plugs along the existing buried revetment. The outcomes of the project will protect the shoreline and the surrounding community (including the sandy beach at Lakeside to the east of the project area), as well as enhance the longevity of the project’s existing assets such as the rock revetment.

Description (French)
Le projet vise à atténuer l’érosion côtière et les inondations le long de la rive nord de Crowbush Cove, à l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard, en réhabilitant l’enrochement existant et en apportant des améliorations à la dune. Les mesures de réhabilitation de l’enrochement exposé comprendront l’extension et le rehaussement de l’enrochement existant afin de prévenir une érosion supplémentaire. Les améliorations apportées à la dune incluront le rechargement de la plage, l’installation de clôtures à sable et la plantation de boutures d’ammophile (marram grass) le long de l’enrochement enfoui existant. Les résultats attendus du projet permettront de protéger le littoral et la communauté environnante (y compris la plage sablonneuse de Lakeside, située à l’est de la zone du projet), tout en renforçant la durabilité des infrastructures existantes du projet, telles que l’enrochement.
