Algoma is fighting back from wind and wave action on Lake Michigan that eroded a large section of Crescent Beach. Over the winter high water levels and gusty winds created a five-foot drop at the beach's south end. Algoma Parks and Recreation Director Sara Robertson says erosion control experts and volunteers are combining their talents to reduce the risk of further damage.
Robertson says additional vegetation and native grasses will be planted this fall to help lock the remaining soil in place.
