G.L.M. and Mrs: Smith, Miss Jessie Metcalf, Reeve Ed Oddleifson and Bayfield Coun- cillors F.E. McFadden and Milvena Erickson attended the Lakeshore Erosion Seminar at the Public School in. Grand Bend last Saturday. It was sponsored by the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority. Elgin Thompson, chairman of the Authority welcomed the gathering of about 300 and Roy Westcott, chairman of the education and information ad- visory board acted as M.C. and introduced the speakers. Prof. Don Clough, University of Waterloo spoke on "The Natural Systems of Beaches and Dunes" illustrating his lec- ture with pictures received in Ottawa through radio messages etc. from the Earth Resources Technology Satellite in Nassau. A most interesting film "The Beach--A River of Sand" was shown by Roger Martin, Authority Resources Manager, showing underwater currents, how sand is formed, the direc- tion it takes and the eventual, build-up by wind and waves. The film was most informative in the fact that,it was-partlyles timelapsed film, underwater and vividly showed what the , speakers had been illustrating. Bob Gould of Golder Associates, London, spoke on "Engineering Implications of Lakeshore Erosion" illustrating his material with slides taken all over the world. Dr. Quigley of the U.W.O. Lon- don showed slides of a project to combat actual erosion program carried out at the beach below the Don Bere Cot- tage, three miles south of Bayfield. In the year since its construction, a remarkable change has taken place.

It proved so successful in tts year of study, that adjoining property owners have installed gabions.. Wayne Rowe, Chatham District Office, Ministry Natural Resources outlined "Prov. Erosion and Flood Assistance Programs". All the speakers agreed that erosion is very serious. A feasability study was urged before anyone should carry out an erosion program on their own. This is to determine the length and depth of groynes which could be the answer. Breakwaters were suggested for some areas, but one thing was very clear, anything that man does has an effect that he does not anticipate. Isolated attem- pts at combating erosion are no good. It was stressed by all speakers that cottagers or home builders should build long distances back from any cliff -etc., where erosion might possibly occur. Up to 40 feet loss has been recorded due to two storms, Oct, 1972 and March 1973, up to this point very little erosion had occurred.
