Notes[edit source]

Logs, wrack, and high-shore invertebrates decline with shoreline armoring.
Armoring emplaced further down the beach face has progressively greater impacts.
Documented threshold responses with elevation are relevant for habitat managers.
In drift cells with extensive armoring, beaches have coarser sediment.
Detection of geomorphic beach changes requires large spatial scales of observation.
