Discover the hidden forces shaping the waves beneath your vessel in this episode. Dr. Andrew Muller from the U.S. Naval Academy joins us to explore how nearshore hydrodynamics influence wave behavior, from sandbars and reef ridges to turbulent shoals and steep drop-offs.
In the final segment of this episode, we hear from Coast Guard Station Portage's OIC, BMC Maria Collett, and EPO MK1 Dan Langley. They discuss the station's vital role in maritime safety on the southern shore of Lake Superior in Dollar Bay, Michigan.
