We are gearing up for another beautiful summer in Northern Michigan. The Great Lakes Ocean Coalition is planning a
Microbead Mailback Drive the first week in August where
we will collect products with polyethylene/polypropylne and remove them from entering the Great Lakes. And then join us the following week when we visit
Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary, the first National Marine Sanctuary on the Great Lakes, where we will view shipwrecks on a glass bottom boat and learn how our National Marine Sanctuaries are working to preserve our Great Lakes and Oceans.
The Great Lakes Ocean Coalition, in its continued efforts to advocate for the largest surface area of freshwater in the world, has added its support to the work of
Oil & Water Don't Mix calling for a shutdown of oil in Line 5 in the Straits of Mackinac. Currently, the Canadian pipeline company Enbridge pumps almost 23 million gallons of oil every day through its Line 5 pipeline from Superior, Wisconsin to Sarnia, Ontario. You can learn more and take action at
Oil & Water Don't Mix.
