We started our #LakeSturgeon trawl survey today on #LakeStClair! This survey is generally a week long and we will be measuring, tagging, and releasing all the #sturgeon we catch. #GreatLakes #GreatLakesSci #SciComm

We scooped up this large #muskie and small #sturgeon in the same tow today. They both summer in the same areas of Lake St Clair with the muskie hanging up high ⬆️ and the sturgeon down low ⬇️ #GreatLakes #GreatLakesSci

We wrapped up our #LakeSturgeon trawling survey on #LakeStClair today! Over 4 days we caught and tagged 17 #sturgeon, none were recaptures from previous surveys. This sturgeon was so excited it decided to swim laps in our “pool”! 🏊 #GreatLakes #GreatLakesSci

It's a beautiful day to be out on the lake in Pure Michigan! ☀️🚣🌊 If you're making the most of it—don't forget to #CleanDrainDry your boat and equipment after leaving waters to prevent the spread of #InvasiveSpecies. michigan.gov/invasives #WaterQualityMonth #NotMiSpecies

This acoustic receiver mooring was in #LakeStClair for one year. Unbelievable Zebra and Quagga mussel growth has covered nearly every square inch of the float and receiver. #GreatLakes #GLATOS

First day of our 2024 #SagBayTrawls survey! A couple tows today resulted in lots of fish, with Sand Shiners, Spottail Shiners, Trout-Perch, Yellow Perch, and White Perch being among the most common species. #SaginawBay #GreatLakes #GreatLakesSci

Our 2024 #SagBayTrawls survey is complete! Trout-perch, Yellow Perch, White Perch, Spottail Shiners, and Sand Shiners were among the most common species and we had our second highest average catch rate of age-0 Walleye for the history of the survey (dates back to early 70s).

Jesus Christ. Listen, if your drop your kid off a boy and he comes back a girl, take that child back to school because you took home the wrong child. Enough of this bullshit! Teachers can’t even give your kid an Advil without parental consent.
