Currents August 2017

Did you know that the Great Lakes are the biggest freshwater source in the world? Lake Erie is the most productive for fishing of all the Great Lakes. Your support helps make our streams clean, clear and healthy so they can support this complex ecosystem. By donating to PCS, you help us reach our goals of restoring rivers that lead to Lake Erie beaches that promote fishable and swimmable conditions for generations.

DSC 0398If you haven’t registered for the Water Quality Boat Cruise on the Sandpiper, now’s your last chance! We will be cohosting this event on Saturday, August 5th from 3:30 to 5:30. While cruising the Maumee River, passengers will have a chance to ask local water quality professionals questions regarding the current and future state of our waterways. Also during the cruise, passengers will be asked trivia questions about our water resource and have a chance to win prizes. This cruise is a great opportunity for community members to learn about our rivers, see wildlife, engage in conversation with peers, and discuss how we can all be part of the solution to improving our waterways.

The Sandpiper Boat leaves from the Jefferson St. dock in Promenade Park in downtown Toledo (1 Jefferson St). Registration is required for this event and can be done online or by calling our office at (419) 874-0727. There is a $5/person registration fee that attendees can pay prior to boarding the boat (cash only). Please arrive 15-20 minutes early. There may be a separate charge for street parking or in the nearby lots. This cruise is recommended for people ages 4 and up, and will happen rain or shine, unless there is severe weather. We will notify those registered in the unlikely event it will be cancelled due to weather.
