The City of Ramsey recently completed a shoreline inventory along the Mississippi River, which borders the city on the south. The results of this study showed significant soil loss and erosion, which equates to loss of property, damage to natural resources, and impacts to water quality. The City requested assistance determining next steps to address shoreline erosion. Students in Dr. Fernando Burga's Land Use Planning course assessed current shoreline erosion in Ramsey along the Mississippi, as well as the causes and impacts of erosion; identified potential shoreline restoration and stabilization techniques and funding sources; recommended outreach and engagement strategies directed at shoreline landowners; and presented example restoration projects based on erosion severity. The students’ final report is available.enLocal GovernmentSustainabilityRamseyMississippi RiverCity of Ramsey Projects, 2017-2018Report
