Abstract

Human awareness of erosion is high among residents along the north shore of Lake Superior around Thunder Bay, Ontario. Two-thirds of shoreline owners had suffered from the effects of erosion of their property over the last five years, and most perceive this erosion to be increasing. Political response is not seen to be very useful, and no respondents had made use of an Ontario Provincial assistance program. Many would like the lake level lowered, by increasing outflow at Sault Ste Marie and limiting diversions into the lake, despite evidence that human intervention has little effect.
