Michigan is most affected by high water levels in Lake Michigan, leading to shoreline damage and erosion.

Michigan is particularly vulnerable to the effects of high water levels in Lake Michigan. The state has one of the longest shorelines of any Great Lake, and rising water levels have caused significant shoreline erosion, flooding, and damage to properties. Coastal communities in Michigan have faced increased risks, including threats to homes, roads, and local ecosystems. The high water levels, influenced by factors like climate change, rainfall, and snowmelt, have prompted state officials to take action on flood prevention and coastal protection. This issue continues to challenge Michigan’s shoreline and its residents who rely on the lake for recreation, tourism, and business.
