The goals of the Michigan Natural Shoreline Partnership include:

  • Train contractors and landscape professionals about shoreline technologies and bioengineered erosion control.
  • Educate property owners about natural shorelines and technologies that benefit lake ecosystems.
  • Research, demonstrate, and develop natural shoreline technologies that benefit lake ecosystems.
  • Encourage local and state policies that promote natural shoreline management
