Big Bay Harbor Operation and Maintenance Activities, Marquette County, Michigan.

Abstract

The report assesses the impact of harbor maintenance activities in Big Bay Harbor and harbor-related shoreline erosion. The adverse impacts are generally short-term in nature and are outweighted by the social benefits. Environmental effects include turbidity resulting from dredging and its side effects and the need for on-land or open lake disposal of sediments.
