The shoreline of this island on Lake Keowee has been stabilized by Dr. Larry Dyck.
Hello Everyone! I am a Wildlife and Fisheries Biology major at Clemson University. This blog was created to document my work on the Keowee Lake Island Project. My focus for this project is shoreline stabilization on the islands and effects on wildlife.

NATIVE PLANTS NATIVE PLANTS - Upstate Forever
This is a link to Upstate Forever Low-Impact Development fact sheet. It includes information for native plants that can be used in bioretention and as a lake buffer.
For bioretention and lake buffer they suggest plants that can withstand times of drought and times of partial-full submersion. Plants that can trap sediment and increase pollutant removal. Upstate Forever suggests using:
Trees- Red maple, Black gum, pond Cypress, ironwood, willow oak
Shrubs- Beautyberry, spicebush
Grasses- Switchgrass, Baker's cordgrass, Indiangrass, riveroats

Shoreline Stabilization (new)
This link is information provided by Duke Power on the lake and shoreline stabilization. They are up for recertification in 2016 and they must provide a Shoreline Management Plan for the surrounding lakes.
Shoreline Stabilization Technique Selection Process
On page 52, it states, "Bioengineering Vegetation – The types of plantings used in bioengineering and landscape-planting projects should be native to North Carolina and South Carolina, and must be reviewed and approved by DE-LS prior to introduction."(http://www.duke-energy.com/shoreline-management/keowee/executive-summary.asp)
