Dip Your Toes Into the Shifting Sands of Michigan's Beaches
Coastlines are extremely dynamic systems, making them vulnerable to storms, changes in water level, and human disturbances. Understanding coastal erosion in the Great Lakes is imperative to protecting Michigan’s beloved beaches and the economic, recreational, and environmental benefits we all depend on. Coastal scientists use drones, iPads, and remote-controlled boats equipped with the latest geospatial technology to map changes in coastlines to better understand the constantly changing landscape and find solutions to our most critical questions.
