Those of you familiar with Lake Huron may know that NOAA is proposing to designate the area in and around Thunder Bay, off Alpena, MI, a National Marine Sanctuary. Thunder Bay would be the first National Marine Sanctuary devoted solely to protecting a large collection of shipwrecks (the Monitor, the country's first National Marine Sanctuary, located off the coast of North Carolina, is the only other such site and protects only one wreck). For more information, please visit our website at:

www.glerl.noaa.gov/glsr/thunderbay

The website offers some background information on the sanctuary, the designation process, and some of the nationally significant shipwrecks. You can also download the Final Environmental Impact Statement/Management Plan (FEIS/MP), which was published in June. The website is still in its infancy, but we hope to expand it in the coming months.

If you would like to be added to our mailing list or receive a hard copy of the FEIS/MP, please send your name and address to me at pitelka@glerl.noaa.gov or call (734) 741-2228.

Thanks!
