Shoreline Erosion on Lake Michigan – Chicago, IL

Communities on the shoreline have been placed in danger as Lake Michigan’s water levels continue to rise. The city of Chicago has endured millions of dollars in damages due to flooding and shoreline erosion caused by the rise in water levels and a vicious storm season. To help combat further damages, the city installed TrapBag Barriers along it’s coast.
