The Ohio Coastal Design Manual illustrates the engineering principles needed to develop safe and successful erosion control and access projects along Ohio’s Lake Erie shore. The manual focuses on the structure types most commonly used in Ohio, and the guidance pertains to Ohio’s unique coastal environment. 

Engineers, surveyors and contractors should find the manual a valuable resource for planning projects and working with clients. For the lakefront property owner or manager, this manual can be a means of better understanding the process that goes into designing a successful project.
