MVCA hosting shoreline
management seminar
On 'Thursday July 23, the Maitland
Valley Conservation Authority will be
hosting a Shoreline Management
Seminar for the general public, starting
at 7 p.m. at the Livery Theatre, South
Street in Goderich. This seminar will be
ul' interest to landowners along the Lake
Huron shoreline; especially those who
are thinking of building shore protection
works. The purpose of the meeting is to
explain the natural processes that occur
on the shoreline and how these processes
limit the effectiveness of shore protec-
tion works.
For cottage Owners and permanent
residents living along Lake Huron the
problems caused by high water levels in
19811 are fresh in their memories. Many
landowners are now undertaking shore
protection works to prevent future
problems.
Unfortunately, many of these works
will be improperly designed and con-
structed and will be likely ineffective as
long -tern) protection.
Speakers at the seminar will outline
the most cost-effective alternatives for
shore protection in light of the natural
processes on lakeshores. Great Lakes
water levels will also be discussed.
Speakers at the meeting will include
Gary Boyd, a Geographer for the Depart-
ment of Fisheries and Oceans and Craig
Bishop, a coastal engineer for the Na-
tional Water Research Institute.

Maitland Valley C.A. at 335-3557.
