Beach Maintenance - A Guide to Keeping Your Waterfront Clean and Healthy

1. Beach Maintenance: A Guide to Keeping Your Waterfront Clean and Healthy • For any waterfront property owner or manager, keeping it clean and healthy is of the utmost importance. While this endeavor can be difficult at times, two key areas should always remain top-of-mind: beach maintenance and lake aeration systems. In this guide, we will dive deeper into how to manage these natural processes so your waterfront remains in optimal condition. • Beach Maintenance • To ensure that beachgoers have a safe and pleasurable experience, it is essential to keep our beaches clean and healthy. This means undertaking various activities such as: • Removing debris and litter: Preserving the pristine condition of our beaches is essential. That’s why it is imperative to regularly rake up any debris, litter, seaweed and other organic materials that may have washed ashore. • Managing erosion: Erosion is a natural process that can, over time, bring destruction to the shoreline. However, by implementing erosion control methods such as retaining walls and sandbags – along with vegetation - we can safeguard our beaches and reduce erosive damage. • Monitoring and improving water quality: Improving water quality should be a top priority. This can be done by introducing a wide variety of lake aerators and equipment. Afterwards, it is important to consistently assess the water quality and monitor any changes that may occur.

2. Lake Aeration Systems • Lake aeration systems are engineered to boost the quality of water in reservoirs, lakes, and other bodies of water by improving oxygen levels. By mixing the lake's waters and increasing the surface area exposed to air, this process provides a plethora of advantages including: • Reducing algae growth: Algae blooms in a warm, oxygen-deficient environment. Fortunately, aeration systems can help to reduce the amount of algae by providing an influx of much-needed oxygen into the water. • Improving fish habitat: Fish need oxygen to stay alive, so aeration systems are essential for creating a healthy living environment. Not only that, but higher levels of oxygen will support more life which can boost the number and quality of fish in your lake. • Preventing water stratification: The process of stratification involves the division of lake water into separate layers based on temperature and density. This often leads to a stagnation of nutrient-rich water at the bottom, creating low oxygen levels that can be detrimental for its inhabitants. Fortunately, aeration systems can help prevent this from occurring by mixing up the different layers and introducing additional oxygen throughout all parts of the lake. • Investing in beach maintenance and aeration systemsfor lakes is the key to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for both beachgoers and the surrounding wildlife.
