 Coir resists biological degradation in a marine environment  Coir photo-degrades in sunlight  Life-expectancy of coir is well-matched with needs to stabilize sediment sufficiently for establishment of plants in a marine environment

 Fringe Marshes can intercept storm energy & stabilize fluctuating beach elevations, which protects nearby upland resources from erosion
