WATCH: Dynamic gravel beaches seminar

Interested in a better alternative to rip rap and sea walls along your shoreline?

Dynamic gravel beaches are a natural way to absorb wave action, preventing shoreline erosion and damage and protecting Flathead Lake.

In January, the Flathead Lakers convened a seminar on gravel beaches, led by Dr. Mark Lorang, for representatives from local counties and entities. Dr. Lorang has studied wave action and beach erosion, and installed over two miles of dynamic gravel beaches around Flathead Lake. He lays out the argument and science for this better option.
