Do revetments affect wildlife

Yes, revetments can affect wildlife by altering natural habitats and disrupting ecosystems. These structures, typically made of rock or concrete to protect shorelines from erosion, can change water flow and sediment deposition patterns, potentially harming aquatic and terrestrial species. Additionally, they may limit access to nesting sites and foraging areas for various animals. However, the degree of impact varies based on the specific location and the design of the revetment.
