English term or phrase: lower shoreline
Hola colegas:

A ver si me podéis echar una mano con este término:

XXX offers integrated solutions, such as concrete infill of retaining walls along the lower shoreline subject to high flow velocities, with vegetated soil/slope stabilization of the upper banks that are subject to more intermittent and lower velocity flows.

Gracias por vuestra ayuda.

Saludos,
Natalia

...aunque al hablar de velocidad del flujo, y sin más contexto, yo diría que se refiere a un ecosistema fluvial. En tal caso, obviamente no se puede hablar de "costa", y yo diría "zona baja de la(s) ribera(s) / orilla(s).
