Presentations will cover a variety of topics including shoreline characteristics that make up a resilient fishery, rebuilding shorelines through plants, resilient plant communities of the Great Lakes, practical ways to get more natural shorelines installed, and reptiles and amphibians of Michigan's inland lakes and how best to protect them through natural shoreline designs.
