(3D Wave Design)The Town of Mahone Bay is preparing to build a living shoreline in front of the three churches on Edgewater Street. 3D Wave Design co-founder Barry Stevens looks out over Mahone Bay last year. (Nic Meloney/CBC)"The town was built pretty much on ... an existing flood plain and it's low," said Barry Stevens, who lives in Mahone Bay. In 2015, Mahone Bay asked engineering and environmental design firm CBCL Ltd. to create a plan for a living shoreline. Next spring, Coastal Action plans to host community planting days where Mahone Bay residents can plant native brushes and shrubs along the bank and wetland areas.
