Great Lakes Shore Protection Structures and Their Effects
Many Great Lakes private and public shorelines, ports, harbors and marinas are protected from damage by storms, waves, ice and high-water levels by a variety of engineered coastal and offshore shore protection structures. Changes along the shoreline are influenced by several things—the marine climate, the geology of the area, the weather and human-induced shoreline changes such as dredging or placement of coastal structures. There are three types of shore defense structures—shore parallel structures, shore perpendicular structures and offshore structures—and each performs in a different way. The most effective shore parallel structure is the simple beach. Its broad shallow sloping surface causes waves to gradually break until all energy is lost. Some natural, near-vertical bluff faces also reflect wave energy. Placing wave-absorbing materials in front of these steep bluffs can help reduce shoreline problems caused by wave reflection.
