The future of the shoreline along Michigan's Great Lakes depends largely on volunteers — people who give their time and energy to serve their communities as elected officials or as committed, involved residents.

Many resources are available to help you get started on your shoreline protection efforts. You can always start by calling me, the Institute's shoreline protection specialist. We can discuss your local situation, and I can help you identify and find what you need.

We have great respect here at the Michigan Land Use Institute for people who take responsibility for the future. Our mission is to assist communities facing change — to help them investigate problems and find solutions that improve the environment and the economy. Together we can help protect Michigan's irreplaceable natural landscape.
