Coir blankets (also called coir mats or coconut blankets) are biodegradable products designed for long-term erosion control in steep areas such as riverbanks, streams, canals, and wetlands. 

The coir blanket plantbed is a great way to germinate seeds and build up vegetation in environmentally sensitive areas. Constructed entirely from biodegradable coir, these blankets have been successfully implemented in projects involving wetland restoration, floating islands, aquatic spawning and even sediment traps.
