Leamington Shoreline Could Suffer More Erosion

The Essex Region Conservation Authority has issued a Watershed Condition Statement for a portion of the Lake Erie shoreline.

It indicates the relatively strong easterly wind and elevated water levels could cause some problems.

While the lake level is below the "Flood Watch" threshold, there is the possibility of shoreline erosion, wave overtopping and spray.

The area most affected is the Leamington shoreline from Wheatley Harbour to the tip of Point Pelee.

The north and east shores of Pelee Island could also be impacted.

Because many shoreline protection structures were damaged in storms this spring, additional damage is possible.
