Erosion and loss of habitat are concerning to public and private stakeholders. Living shorelines offer a great alternative to armored shorelines by providing natural materials that buffer wave action, absorb storm impacts, filter pollutants, and provide food and shelter for fish, shellfish, and wading birds. \nThe Gulf of Mexico Alliance (GOMA) funded the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission: Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) to apply the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) Living Shoreline Suitability Model (LSSM) to Tampa Bay, Florida. VIMS's LSSM has been successfully applied to other estuaries in the United States, including Chesapeake Bay shoreline in Middlesex County, Virginia, State of Connecticut's coastal shoreline, and Mobile Bay, Alabama. \n", "summary": "This map service displays the Shoreline and Upland Best Management Practices (BMPs) for Tampa Bay.
