​Michigan's Inland Lake Shoreline Energy Assessment Tool
The purpose of Michigan's Inland Lake Shoreline Energy Assessment is to provide a standardized approach to evaluate the erosive potential of an inland lake shoreline and to educate the public on important inland lake shoreline characteristics.
Once the online assessment is submitted, a report is automatically emailed to the address provided. The report contains the estimated wave height classifications, pictures, and assessment responses on the energy that a site may experience. One of the goals of creating this assessment is to assist in designing appropriate shoreline protection that minimizes impacts to inland lakes.
