The Inland Seas Education Association will present a seminar that focuses on invasive species in the Great Lakes at 7:00pm on Tuesday, October 13th, at the Inland Seas Education Center in Suttons Bay. The program will be presented by Jeff Alexander, author of "Pandora’s Locks: the Opening of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrenc...e Seaway." This seminar is free and open to the public.
Invasive species are the biggest threat to the Great Lakes ecosystem to date. Alexander chronicles the implications of invasive species since the opening of the Welland Canal and the St. Lawrence Seaway. Threats and challenges to water quality, public health, power generation, fisheries, recreation, shorelines and wetlands, marine life, birds, mammals, and more are part of the chronicle.
Jeff Alexander is an award winning author and former environmental journalist. He covered Great Lakes issues for the past 20 years for several Michigan newspapers, most recently for The Muskegon Chronicle. He currently works for the National Wildlife Federation.Read More

ISEA holds two Beach Clean-Ups each season. The fall 2009 date is Saturday September 19. The fall Beach Clean-Up is part of the Ocean Conservancy's International Coastal Clean-Up, in cooporation with the Great Lakes Alliance. Beaches and waterways included are from Petoskey to Manistee.
To participate please call the IS...EA office at 231-271-3077. Let us know which beach you wish to clean. If that beach is already taken, we will help you select another nearby beach. We will also send you a Beach Data Card.
On the day of the Clean Up, you will need sturdy footware, gloves, a plastic pail (this works better than garbage bags), a clipboard and pencil for the Data Card, and a friend or two to help.
Over the last few years northern Michigan has seen a large die-off of diving ducks, loons, and other migratory birds. Check out our website www.schoolship.org for more information about the die-offs and what to do if you find a dead bird on the beach.
This year, ISEA is partnering with the Grand Traverse Bay Underwater Preserve to also clean-up the nearshore areas surrounding the Inland Seas dock. This underwater clean-up will take place Saturday, September 19. Call the ISEA office at 231-271-3077 for more information on how to get involved.
Thank you for helping keep Michigan clean by participating in our Beach & Underwater Clean-Up! We appreciate everything you do to help keep the Great Lakes clean and healthy!! For more information check out the ISEA website http://www.schoolship.org/stewardship/?i

The ISEA Boat Shop is making news! Several live segments were aired on 9&10 news and Fox 33 the morning of February 25. Each segment took viewers through the experience of building a cedar-strip canoe or Optimist pram. Executive Director Tom Kelly described the programs available, while Boat Shop volunteers Chuck Dicke...rson and Larry Winegar explained the building process. Even student Graham Kelly was there to show what he has learned. Pictures of the event are posted on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/14943728@N0
