| Benefit: | In addition to protecting this shoreline, large rock islands were constructed to protect the embayment from the high energy environment, and submerged rocks were placed near the shoreline to create sturgeon spawning areas. Once abundant in this area, sturgeon have become almost extinct in the Great Lakes Region due to overfishing, but there is recent evidence that this species is making a comeback (3, 14) |
