To stop that erosion problemo, go get some el cheapo 70-lb paper bags with concrete mix, (sand-cement-gravel) for about $3/bag, and align them along the shoreline there under the water.

The water soaks through the paper, the concrete will set up under the water, harden into solid concrete weighing maybe 250-lbs/bag, and will protect the shoreline. Just load up an old rowboat with dry concrete bags, and set them along the shoreline, underwater ..... easy-peasy!

This actually does work very good and concrete like this will last under water for 100 years or more.
