2006 Lake Huron Regional Fisheries Workshops

April 8 and April 22, 2006

The Lake Huron fishery has undergone significant changes in the recent years — these changes affect ecological fish communities, fishery stakeholders, and Lake Huron communities that benefit from these fisheries.

What?

This spring the Michigan Sea Grant College Program and Michigan State University Extension, in partnership with fisheries management agencies and other organizations, will be hosting two public information workshops. These workshops will offer current research and information related to the status of the Lake Huron fishery, including specific updates related to salmon management in Lake Huron, walleyes in Saginaw Bay, cormorant management efforts in Michigan, among other Lake Huron related topics.

Who Should Attend?

Workshops are open to the public, and will provide valuable information for anglers, charter captains, resource professionals, and others who are interested in the Lake Huron fishery.

When and Where?

In April, two full-day Lake Huron Regional Fisheries Workshops will be hosted on:

Saturday, April 8, 2006 in Alpena, MI
9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Saturday, April 22, 2006 in Sandusky, MI
