Nature-Based Approaches in Lake Michigan Coastal Restoration
Date & Time
Selected Sessions:

Description
In this webinar presented by IECA and SWS, learn about why Wisconsin’s Lake Michigan coastal ecological landscapes are imperiled. A combination of anthropogenic and natural forces have contributed to a marked decline in Lake Michigan water quality, wildlife habitat, and overall ecological value – with a sharp increase in degradation of these systems in the past decade. This webinar will discuss some of the current challenges facing landowners and land managers in the Central and Southern Coastal Ecological Landscapes of Wisconsin, along with a discussion of some pragmatic “nature-based” restoration options, with a focus on the wise use of native vegetation.
Learning Objectives:
1) Gain an understanding of factors that influence coastal ecological degradation.
2) Increase awareness of nature-based solutions and how they can be implemented in
coastal restoration.
3) Gain a better understanding of the ecosystem services approach to sustainable coast
restoration.
