Abstract:
A system for stabilization of a shoreline includes a plurality of stakes and a flexible sheet switchable between an open configuration and a folded configuration. The sheet has a first edge and a second edge, each edge includes a channel in which an anchoring rope running through. An organic material is disposed in a body region of the flexible sheet when the sheet is in the folded configuration. The first edge and second edge are secured to the plurality of stakes by the anchoring ropes.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for installing an erosion control system comprising a sheet having a first edge and a second edge, and a body region positioned between the first edge and the second edge, the first edge having a first length, wherein the first edge comprises a first channel in which a first anchoring rope is threaded, the first channel comprising two first outer side openings through which the first anchoring rope extends out of the first channel, and at least one first intervening opening through which at least one segment of the first anchoring rope is exposed, and wherein the second edge comprises a second channel in which a second anchoring rope is threaded, the second channel comprising two second outer side openings through which the second anchoring rope out of the second channel, and at least one second intervening opening through which at least one segment of the second anchoring rope is exposed,\n the method comprising, in the following sequence:\n placing a plurality of stakes along a bank of a shoreline, the plurality of the stakes comprising two outer stakes and at least one intervening stake; \n securing the first edge of the sheet to the plurality of stakes by securing two ends of the first anchoring rope to the two outer stakes, and coupling the at least one exposed segment of the first anchoring rope to the at least one intervening stake; \n arranging the sheet so that at least a portion of the sheet is lying flat on the ground and forms an organic material holding region extending from the first edge; \n disposing an organic material on top of the organic material holding region; \n bringing the second edge of the sheet over the first edge, thereby trapping the disposed organic material by the sheet; and \n securing the second edge of the sheet to the plurality of stakes; \n wherein at the completion of the installation, along at least a portion of the first length, the first edge is free from attachment to the second edge, and the second edge is disposed between the first edge and the plurality of stakes.
