Doesn't that stop the natural flow and meander of the river? Of course it does, but it needs to be done otherwise Moncton would disappear into the river. We pick and choose, at the time, what we want.

I think some of the rocks were to stop the erosion of the dump lands into the river. Thinking of all the toxic waste that’s there, it would be a huge disaster if it got into the waterway. On the Riverview side, it’s literally to protect the park and businesses located along the river. In this case the river is already located where it always has been, the rocks were intended to prevent further unwanted erosion.
