Protecting and Re-Naturalizing Our Shorelines
• A minimum of 75% of the shoreline of our lakes should be natural or re-naturalized (regenerative) just to maintain water quality and lake health as it is
• At less than 75% natural or regenerative, our lakes’ water quality will degrade
Natural shorelines do so much for our lakes
• Filter pollutants such as phosphorous before it can enter and harm our lakes
• Provide habitat for the things we love
• 80-90% of all life on our lakes depend on natural shorelines at some point during their lives
