Description:Storms and record high Great Lakes water levels during the mid-1980s caused shoreline erosion, flooding and property damage on a scale unprecedented in the recorded history of the region. This training manual describes the natural processes that may adversely affect investments in coastal property. It provides information and advice on how to evaluate the likely effects of changing water levels, storm surges, wave runup and shoreline recession, and suggests ways to evaluate existing or proposed shore protection structures. The manual is designed for use in workshops to train instructors and afterwards to help them teach realtors, lenders, zoning boards, local administrators and others how to evaluate the risks of coastal flooding and erosion.
