The first webinar of the 2021 "Protecting Our Lakes and Shorelands" series: A three-part VIRTUAL education and information series for those living on or recreating in our local lakes and waterways. Developed by: Friends of Spider Lake and Rennie Lake, Michigan. Hosted by: Grand Traverse Conservation District.
The physical properties and associated forces of ice, wind, and waves have a significant effect on the in-lake and shoreline ecosystem of our lakes. Understanding these properties and their associated forces are important to holistic and healthy lake management. This presentation by Brian Majka, Senior Restoration Ecologist, GEI, will cover how water acts and moves in a lake and on the shorelines, and how those forces affect sediment transport, erosion, and the ecology of a lake. Additionally, the presentation will discuss lake friendly shoreline management practices that can benefit the lake ecosystem.
