Michigan is home to some the most abundant freshwater resources in the world, so it’s no surprise that our fisheries – both for recreational and commercial industry purposes – are important to a lot of people.

If you’re interested in learning more about the latest fisheries research and management activities, angler catch data, fishing trends, and the overall “big picture” about what’s happening in our Great Lakes and how it might affect fish populations, join us for one of the upcoming Great Lakes fisheries workshops – offered by Michigan Sea Grant and Michigan State University Extension, the DNR, the U.S. Geological Survey’s Great Lakes Science Center and local fishery organizations.

The workshops are free and open to the public, and will offer valuable information for anglers, charter captains, resource professionals and other interested community members. Dates and locations include April 11 (Port Huron), April 16 (Bay City), April 18 (South Haven), April 25 (Alpena), April 29 (Houghton) and April 30 (Cedarville). Registration is required for most workshops. Get full workshop details and RSVP information on the Michigan Sea Grant website.
