USCF Coir Logs are excellent Best Management Practice (BMP) devices for the minimization of accelerated erosion and the
resulting sedimentation. The Coir log is made from coir fiber and bound by coir twine that has a high tensile strength and
an installed functional longevity of two to five years. Coir logs are made with 100% natural organic fiber and are free of
synthetic netting or chemical additives. Coir logs absorb 150-200% water by weight without experiencing physical property
alterations and are ideal for water-associated streambanks, lakeshore and coastal restoration and protection projects. Coir
logs are totally biodegradable and convert into mulch that improves the organic composition of the soil. Riparian zone
herbaceous plants can easily be “plugged” into the coir fiber and the log provides a secure growing medium thus enabling
the plants to become established. The Standard Coir Logs are recommended for low energy sites such as ponds and
streams. The Premium Coir Logs are denser and are recommended for higher energy sites such as lakes, bayshores and
streambanks. Coir logs are flexible and are easily installed.
