The ice packs on Lake Michigan and the bay of Green Bay are still solid yet marine contractors are already raising concerns about erosion damage from high water levels. Mike Kahr, owner of Death's Door Marine, is already taking calls from property owners and municipalities about erosion damage and protection. Kahr says based on current conditions Summer of 2020 will be challenging to waterfront property owners.
Kahr says his company is already busy helping clients and he's doing maintenance work and trying to line up additional employees to meet the expected spring and summer demand for erosion control and repair work.
