Angler Input Wanted On Fish Passage Project
By Beth Milligan | May 29, 2018
The Great Lakes Fishery Commission is seeking input from area anglers on a proposed fish passage project at the Union Street Dam (pictured).
An angler workshop is scheduled for Wednesday (May 30) from 7pm to 10pm at the Hagerty Conference Center at Northwestern Michigan College. A panel consisting of leadership from angling groups will engage in a facilitated discussion to identify and document issues with the proposed FishPass system. The experimental fish passage project could provide groundbreaking scientific research on controlling invasive species while also introducing new landscaping elements, canoe and kayak portage options, and a public educational center to the dam property.
The panel discussion will be followed by interactive engagement with the FishPass team to generate solutions to any identified challenges or issues with the project.
