Evaluation of Great Lakes shore protection structures : project report

"This project report presents the results of a survey... of shore protection structures recently installed on Lakes Michigan and Huron... to determine various aspects of their performance. Specific objectives of the evaluation include: determine whether or not the structures were built as permitted; determine whether or not they have been effective; determine any adverse impacts associated with the installation... After the copies of the permits were received, all private landowners were contacted to obtain permission to visit the site... A site visit consisted of making a working sketch to identify the general state of the shoreline in the immediate vicinity of the structure... Photographs were taken at the site... [A]erial photographs were obtained for ... about two-thirds of the total sites."--leaves 2-8. 1988 Funding: Office of Coastal Zone Management, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.; NOS (National Ocean Service) Library Public Domain 1935
