Title: Vegetation and its role in reducing Great Lakes shoreline erosion. A guide for property owners.
Author: Michigan Sea Grant College Program
Year: 88
Program#: MICHU-SG-88-700
# Pages: 37

Abstract: Vegetation plays an important role in controlling erosion. This booklet provides the coastal Great Lakes property owner with information and guidelines on how to use vegetation to help stabilize and preserve the shoreline. Although plants alone cannot protect the shoreline from wave attack or groundwater seepage, they help prevent soil runoff and wind erosion. They are effective and inexpensive when used in conjunction with structures to preserve the shoreline. With illustrations and step-by-step instructions, this guide can help you choose the vegetation best suited for your shore property, tells how to prepare your site for planting, and how to maintain a vegetative cover. Lists of additional sources of information and related publications are included.

Year: 85
# Pages: 426

Abstract: The fifty-four papers presented here cover numerous aspects of the science, technology and administration of the coastal zone. Fourteen papers are concerned with coastal erosion, dune protection or the efficacy of engineering solutions in connection with these problems. About the same number concern the coastal environment: ecological impacts, water quality, wetlands management, and marine ecology. Conflicting interests in use and development of the waterfront are discussed in about ten papers. Other topics include coastal regulation and litigation, risk management, information management for coastal decision-making, and public awareness and education.

Title: "Coastal natural hazards: science, engineering, and public policy."
Author: Good James W. (editor); Ridlington Sandra S. (editor)
Year: 92
# Pages: 162

Abstract: This book lays out the risks of building on the sifting sands and eroding sea cliffs that typify the U.S. Pacific coast. It also looks at some of the ways people have tried to stop the changing coastline from doing what comes naturally. Although written mainly for lay readers, the book grew out of an October, 1990 conference of coastal geologists, oceanographers, engineers, planners, and resource managers. The book discusses the effects of El Niño on beach and shore erosion and recent research into factors that control sea cliff erosion, as well as evidence for periodic great subduction zone earthquakes. Planning and engineering approaches to hazard mitigation on the west coast and the successes and shortcomings of public policies designed to deal with development in hazardous areas are addressed.

Title: Shore protection policy and practices in Oregon: an evaluation of implementation success.
Author: Good James W.
Citation: "Coastal Management," 22:325-352, 1994.
Year: 94
# Pages: 28

Abstract: Oregon's public beaches and adjacent developed and undeveloped dunes and bluffs experience erosion and other hazards due to winter storm waves, weathering, and geologic instability. In privately owned developed areas, the typical hazard response is to install a hard shore protection structure, leading some to question the effectiveness of policies that were designed to discourage such structures. An evaluation of shore protection and land use policy implementation was undertaken using a geographic information system to analyze outcomes of policy decisions within the Siletz littoral cell on the central Oregon coast. Study results, detailed in this article, found that policies designed to mitigate hazards, control upland development, and protect the beach are often ineffective. Based on this analysis, Oregon's ocean shore protection management regime needs an overhaul.

Title: Shoreline erosion control using marsh vegetation and low- cost structures.
Author: Broome Stephen W.; Rogers Spencer M. Jr.; Seneca Ernest D.
Year: 96
Program#: UNC-SG-92-12
# Pages: 18

Abstract: Shoreline erosion is a natural process caused by a gradual rise in sea level and prevailing wind and current conditions. But in many cases, it is accelerated by intensive use, development, and mismanagement. Establishing vegetation is much cheaper than structural methods of erosion control, and the new marsh provides habitat, food and nutrients for organisms in the surrounding estuarine waters. This booklet describes how to cultivate or transplant marsh vegetation for estuarine erosion control and how to fertilize and maintain it. The placement and construction of an offshore breakwater which, combined with a planted marsh, can provide long-lasting protection at a relatively low cost are described. The manual also features up-to-date planting tips and advice on site suitability.

# Pages: 14

Abstract: Marsh grasses have been effectively used to control erosion along estuarine shorelines. Project success has been limited to sites with relatively low wave activity. A combination of marsh and low-cost breakwater can substantially improve the planting success rate and increase the wave exposure limits at significantly lower cost than more traditional erosion control alternatives.

Title: The construction of homes on four active coastal landslides in Newport, Oregon: unbelievable but true!
Author: Sayre William O.; Komar Paul D.
Citation: "Proceedings of the Sixth Symposium on Coastal and Ocean Management," pp. 3286-3296, Charleston, South Carolina, July 11-14, 1989.
Year: 89

Abstract: Oregon's Coastal Management Program, approved by the federal government in 1977, requires that local coastal governments and state regulatory programs address management issues such as geologic hazards. This calls for site inspections and reports from registered geologists when development is proposed in a hazardous zone. Between 1980 and 1982, four developments were constructed on active landslides in Newport, Oregon. Each site had been investigated by the same registered geologist, who recommended development even though his own hazards report, prepared in 1978 for the county, recognized three of these sites as significant geological hazards due to landslide activity. Soon after construction, each development was either partially or totally destroyed by continued landslides. The Oregon Board of Geologist Examiners suspended his registration after a lengthy investigation. However, they left the door open to future reinstatement, in spite of their having declared him `incompetent' and `negligent.'

Abstract: Based on the use of adhesives in Florida, North Carolina Sea Grant conducted limited field and laboratory tests of a new adhesive patching method to repair oceanfront sandbags. The tests indicate that the method is superior to conventional repair practices and easily used to fix small tears (between 3 and 12 inches across). This publication provides an illustrated, step-by-step description of how to patch a sandbag using marine adhesive sealants, and also suggests ways to prevent sandbag punctures.

Abstract: This videotape was produced as a self-teaching tool for individuals who wish to assess the likely risks to Great Lakes coastal property posed by shore erosion and coastal flooding. Designed to be used in conjunction with the "Coastal Processes Workbook" (WISCU-H-87-002), the videotape shows how to make a reasonable estimate of these risks for most lakeside structures. A more detailed "Processes Manual" (WISCU-H-87-001), is available for those who may wish to teach this assessment process to small groups. Though geared specifically to Wisconsin's Great Lakes shores, the coastal processes described generally affect the entire Great Lakes shoreline.

# Pages: 2 -URLH- http://www.sg.ohio-state.edu/publications/erosion/fs-036.html

Abstract: Shoreline property is scarce and highly desired by many for home sites. The beauty and desirability of a coastal home site must be weighed against the site's susceptibility to coastal flooding and erosion. Potential buyers in the market for shoreline property must ask and find out the answer to several critical questions in order to avoid unpleasant surprises. In some cases sellers and agents may not be required to disclose erosion risk. It is up to the buyer to find the answer to the questions discussed here in the context of Great Lakes waterfront property.

Abstract: During the 1985-86 period of high lake levels and storm damage on the Great Lakes, coastal property owners, real estate agents, prospective buyers, appraisers, bankers and insurers faced a dilemma with little available professional assistance: how to evaluate the risks of coastal investment? Here coastal engineering methods were used along with available information on erosion rates in developing an easy-to-understand process for evaluating the risks of flooding and erosion for specific coastal sites. The materials developed feature a series of simple steps and advice on how to evaluate the likely effects of high lake levels, storm waves and shoreline recession. A coastal processes training manual, workbook, slide set and video tape were produced and used in a series of workshops held in four of Wisconsin's major coastal cities. The paper concludes with the results of a survey of people who either received the training or just the written materials.

Abstract: If you are fortunate enough to have a home bordering Delaware's lush wetlands or lying near the state's famous beaches, you have the opportunity to landscape your property with native coastal plants rather than commonly used traditional nursery stock. Such plantings are attractive, require little maintenance, and can help control the erosion and flooding often associated with coastal environments. This bulletin is designed to describe the plants that are naturally adapted to Delaware's dunes and saltwater wetlands and to familiarize you with their use as landscape alternatives.

Title: Erosion hazard of Minnesota's Lake Superior shoreline.

Program#: RB44
# Pages: 44

Abstract: While shoreline erosion can only be prevented at great expense, economic losses are minimized by knowing where and how fast shoreline erosion is likely to occur. Future problems are avoided by locating new structures and septic fields back from the bluff line to allow for the erosion that is expected to occur. Fortunately, the Minnesota Lake Superior shoreline has had relatively little development in comparison to other Great Lakes shorelines, so good planning can prevent future problems. Measuring shoreline recession from a time sequence of maps or aerial photos provides long-term erosion rates. Shoreling geology also provides an indication of erosion hazard. This study combined the two to produce maps of long-term shoreline erosion potential.

Abstract: The two primary shore erosion processes at work along Ohio's Lake Erie are wave erosion and mass wasting. Although wave erosion is the more significant, rates are highly variable. For example, erosion rates in Lake County vary from less than one foot to nine feet per year, depending on a variety of factors including the weather and physical setting of the shore. Weather can also influence the size and frequency of waves striking the shoreline. The physical setting of the shore--shore orientation, presence or absence of a beach or man-made structures--and shore geology also contribute to erosion variability. This fact sheet describes wave erosion and mass wasting.

Abstract: Private shoreline property owners experience a high rate of failure in their efforts to abate shoreline erosion along the Great Lakes. The three primary causes of the high failure rate include (1) the lack of neighborhood coordination in construction or erosion abatement projects, (2) inadequate design and construction of privately financed projects, and (3) the nature of the physical environment. While not much can be done to change the nature of the physical environment, citizens can work to improve the cooperative efforts, design, construction, and financing of erosion control measures.

Abstract: In 1976, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was charged with conducting an extensive survey of private property owners along the Great Lakes shoreline to assess the extent and nature of damages occurring during the early 1970s and the resultant expenditures. This study utilizes the damage and cost of protection estimates generated by the Corps study for private property in the state of Ohio (public property damages werenot estimated in the Corps' study). Using an input-output model of the northern Ohio regional economy, economic resources within the region that were used for the restoration, replacement, or protection of private property instead of for production of the usual goods and services are estimated. Annual expected cost estimates were then calculated, providing guidelines against which the costs of protective strategies can be compared.

Abstract: Shoreline erosion is the gradual disappearane of land into a lake, and property improvements are eventually threatened. The primary research objective here is to estimate the benefits of erosion protection, which would serve as a basis for identifying efficiency gains in alternative courses of action. Erosion protection can be measured as GEOTIME, given as the number of years until the distance between the house and lake is reduced to zero. An asset pricing model, with GEOTIME as a choice variable, indicates that the land price function should be increasing at a decreasing rate. The null hypothesis for GEOTIME is rejected; it can be concluded that purchasers of lakeshore property have a positive willingness to pay for erosion protection. For an average property, the benefit of a protection device that increases GEOTIME from one to twenty-one years was $40,600, while the benefit of an increase from 10 to 30 years was $9,100. A numerical analysis was undertaken of group formation for the cooperative provision of erosion protection among property owners. Considering benefits from a standardized protection device, a marginal cost rule yields more properties protected and greater net benefits than either average cost groups or individual action.
