(driving music)

00:12.090 --> 00:13.610
- Annual fall beach walk.

00:13.610 --> 00:16.149
This is the conclusion to
our 2019 nourishment program.

00:16.149 --> 00:18.440
Because of the continued high lake levels

00:18.440 --> 00:20.840
here at Lake Erie, 2019 was our highest

00:20.840 --> 00:22.180
level of nourishment.

00:22.180 --> 00:24.898
Since the completion of
the breakwaters in 1993

00:24.898 --> 00:27.700
with about 73,000 cubic yards of new sand

00:27.700 --> 00:29.723
placed on the beaches, we're evaluating

00:29.723 --> 00:31.818
the effectiveness of that placement,

00:31.818 --> 00:34.180
also forming our baseline
for our nourishment

00:34.180 --> 00:36.210
for the 2020 season.

00:36.210 --> 00:37.440
We use this data going into winter

00:37.440 --> 00:39.250
to kinda see how things changed

00:39.250 --> 00:40.980
between now and then, help us guide

00:40.980 --> 00:42.480
what we do next spring,

00:42.480 --> 00:43.810
determine what's been effective,

00:43.810 --> 00:46.714
and what can be improved
upon going forward.
