The Chatham-Kent Lake Erie Shoreline Study is now available online for public viewing.
The study explores the influence of climate change on future coastal hazards due to changes in storms and ice cover and the associated challenges for the coastal communities of Chatham-Kent.
The study is supported by the Natural Resources Canada’s Climate Change Adaptation Program,
The Municipality, along with the Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority, researchers from Zuzek Inc., and the University of Waterloo collaborated on the study.
The goal of the study is to increase the resilience of the Chatham-Kent community through the development of short- and long-term solutions to the existing coastal hazards and associated challenges.
