erosion costal of lake Erie in Ohio

Erosion along the coastal region of Lake Erie has become a national disaster especially in parts that have high bluffs and erodible clay, sand and silt. There are two primary erosional processes that take place along the Erie shore. They include mass wasting and wave erosion.

The rate of erosion along the shore varies over time and from place to place. These variations are contributed by natural factors such as storm frequency, nearshore depths, shoreline orientation and lake level.

Disposal of the sand on the shores and erosion control structures have also exacerbated the erosion problem in the region (Carter, Guy Jr & Fuller, 1981).
