Description:
Join us for a presentation on how erosion has affected Minnesota Point. We will talk about modern and historical erosion rates and shoreline change from 1861 to present. We will share how erosion rates have increased in recent years and discuss what drives higher erosion on our shorelines.
Minnesota Sea Grant, Minnesota’s Lake Superior Coastal Program (DNR), and the Park Point Erosion and High Water Committee are hosting this virtual meeting. These results are part of a larger effort to map erosion hazards on Minnesota’s coast. Minnesota Point was a pilot site for the Coastal Erosion Hazard Mapping project. CEHM is a collaboration between local and tribal governments, state agencies, and researchers. For more information on CEHM, please visit ardc.org/CEHM.
