Abstract:
This guide helps homeowners, designers, and construction professionals navigate the Green Shores for Homes (GHS) credits and rating system for waterfront property development; a certification program that aims to minimize the environmental impact of residential development on shoreline ecosystems. See the companion guide, Green Shores for Coastal Development: Credits and Ratings Guide for use in municipal parks, mixed-use residential and institutional shoreline properties.
The guide is useful for those who wish to make a positive impact on their shoreline through action at home, or for the professionals who assist them. It describes features and benefits of a healthy shoreline, and walks users through the GHS certification process; including how credits and ratings are assessed and calculated.
