Description from the introduction:
“During the fall of 1972 and spring of 1973, severe storm action superimposed upon record and near record high water levels caused extensive damage to riparian property on the Great Lakes and connecting channels. Subsequently, a cost-shared agreement was entered into between the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment Canada to survey the nature and extent of these damages and to make preliminary recommendations aimed at more effective shoreline management.
“The Canada/Ontario Great Lakes Shore Damage Survey was confined to the erodible portion of the Great Lakes from Port Severn on Georgian Bay to Ganonoque on the eastern end of Lake Ontario, excluding the Niagara River…. The results are presented graphically in this Coastal Zone Atlas. …
“Erosion and/or recession rates were gathered according to three distinct methodologies, these being: (1) historical recession and accession rates based on land survey data from 1900 to present; (2) photogrammetrically extracted recession and accession rates based on aerial photography from 1952 to 1973; and (3) ground survey erosion and accretion rates based on erosion station data from 1971 to 1973.”
