The Michigan Demonstration Erosion Control Program In 1976

The long-range objective of this program is to provide assistance in the selection and design of economically feasible low-cost shore protection procedures. Immediate benefits consist of the demonstration of procedures which have a reasonable chance of success and avoidance of losses which occur with the use of procedures which have little chance of providing benefit. It is estimated that about 600 miles (966 km) of the 3000 miles (4828 km) of Michigan shoreline are having serious erosion problems.
