native vegetation on shoreline with dock

Shorelines along lakes, rivers, streams and wetlands are all susceptible to erosion from excessive stormwater flows, wave action, and other factors. Many resources have been developed in Minnesota to reduce erosion and restore shorelines. Funding may be available to address areas of severe erosion.
