Shoreline Solutions

Soils along the shorelines of lakes, rivers and streams are gradually weathered, displaced and deposited by various forces including wind, water, ice, and gravity.  Although erosion is a natural process, it can be dramatically accelerated by changes in land use, such as removal of shoreline vegetation.  Without the presence of a healthy vegetated buffer, shorelines have reduced resistance against erosion, potentially resulting in a loss of habitat, soil stability and land.  We can do something about it.  Please read the Solutions for Shoreline Erosion document below.
