2021: Baird report – Tuktoyaktuk erosion mitigation, preliminary design

A preliminary design and cost estimate for three possible shoreline protection structures, for both the west shoreline and Tuk island, was put forward in April 2021: concrete slabs, articulated concrete block mattress, or stone [12]. These designs have a recommended maximum lifespan of 30 years, contingent on proper (likely time- and cost-intensive) upkeep. In addition to placing more hard protection structures, sand and cobble beach nourishment and construction of a toe berm and splash pad along the shoreline (including existing concrete slabs) was also recommended.
