This week the following schools sailed on Inland Seas:
Romeo Montessori, Romeo; Northport Public; Traverse City Home School Group; Evart MS (2 programs); Lewiston; Smith Middle School, Dearborn; and Central Grade School, Traverse City.
Aboard Manitou we sailed with:
Glenn Loomis Elementary, Traverse City; Grayling Elementary; Lakeland Elementary (2 programs), Elk Rapids; Waterford Kettering; Gaylord St. Mary's; Lewiston School, Smith Middle School, Dearborn; and Central Grade School, Traverse City.
So far this spring the Secchi disk transparency (how far you can see underwater) has averaged 52 feet (16 meters) in Suttons Bay. Many readings are over 62 feet!
The primary fish catch has been yellow perch, round goby and rockbass. We have also picked up a few spottail shiner, white sucker, ninespine stickleback, and native crayfish.
The surface water temperature in Suttons Bay on 5-14-08 was 44 degrees F.
And here are some great ideas from our students to help protect the Great Lakes:
*Put a rain sensor on your lawn sprinkler system
*Switch to fluorescent light bulbs
*Use rechargeable batteries
*Add a water saver to your shower head
