Work started this week on a shoreline protection project in South Haven. South Haven Area Emergency Services tells us crews from deBest, Incorporated of South Haven placed large limestone boulders along the Lake Michigan coast to protect a threatened home. The home is located about a quarter mile south of South Beach along Monroe Boulevard. 10,000 tons of limestone were being brought into Michigan from Wisconsin. The rock was first shipped into Holland. It was then trucked over to shoreline protection projects all along the lakeshore in communities that include Fennville, Covert, and South Haven.
