Abstract
With the passage of the Shorelands Protection
and Management Act of 1970 (Act 245), the
Michigan Water Resources Commission (WRC)
was charged with the establishment of a shorelands
management plan for Michigan's Great
Lakes shorelands. In the process of formulating
these management recommendations, the commission
has been involved with the University
of Michigan Sea Grant Program in a pilot shoreland
study in Grand Traverse Bay.
Soon after commencing this project the WRC
and Sea Grant established contact with a
number of concerned citizens w ho have provided
valuable information and suggestions. In
August of 1971 this group established itself as
the Traverse Bay Shorelands Coordinating Committee,
with the hope of gaining membership
from all bay-area political, planning, and citizen
groups.
In response to requests by members of the Shorelands
Coordinating Committee, Sea Grant is
preparing a series of background papers which
identify some bay shorelands and water problems
and some initial recommendations. This
general report is the first in a series which will
be presented to interested citizens through the
Shorelands Coordinating Committee. These conceptual
reports will be supplemented by a continuing
series of technical Sea Grant reports.
