Michigan Sea Grant is pleased to hold a virtual Southeast Michigan Fisheries Workshop, the first of several similar workshops held throughout the state in Spring 2022. This online workshop will offer current research and information impacting fish in Lake Erie, the Detroit and St. Clair Rivers and Lake St. Clair with presentations from a variety of state and federal management agencies. We look forward to hosting your questions!
Immediately following the Southeast Michigan Fisheries Workshop Michigan DNR will be hosting Conversations & Coffee from 7:30 - 8 p.m. ET. This is an opportunity to speak informally with DNR staff members to discuss topics of interest to you and answer your questions about local and statewide fisheries management activities. This is a separate meeting from the fisheries workshop but will be hosted under the same zoom link. Participants can join us at 6 p.m. for both meetings or at 7:30 p.m. for just the Conversations & Coffee.
