In answer to your question, yes, the state will permit shoreline stabilization where erosion and loss is occurring. If you, or anyone else reading this, are thinking about requesting a permit for shoreline stabilization I would suggest that you start taking photographs of the at risk areas to document the damage that is occurring. They will come in very handy in the future.

Thank you again for your input on both subjects - very informative & helpful.
