SUMMARY:LAKE STURGEON RELEASE EVENT: SAGINAW BAY WATERSHED
DESCRIPTION:Local\, state\, and federal partners invite the public to a lake sturgeon release celebration on September 24\, 2022\, in the Saginaw Bay Watershed.

Short presentations may be made at three of the events by local partners. \nPublic release events on September 24 include: \n\n11 a.m.\, Tittabawassee River. It will be held at the Bob G. Caldwell Municipal Boat in Midland\, MI.

The slow-maturing fish do not begin reproducing until they are 15-20 years old.

In recent years\, many partnerships and projects are working to restore sturgeon to a self-sustaining level in Michigan. This work includes restoring sturgeon habitat\, reintroducing sturgeon into their native ranges\, and raising awareness and appreciation for this unique species. \nThe August 2022 sturgeon release events are supported by a variety of partners including City of Frankenmuth\, Chippewa Nature Center\, Flint River Watershed Coalition\, Friends of the Shiawassee River\, Michigan Department of Natural Resources\, Michigan Sea Grant\, Michigan State University Department of Fisheries and Wildlife\, MSU Extension\, Saginaw Bay Watershed Initiative Network\, Sturgeon for Tomorrow – Black Lake Chapter\, The Conservation Fund\, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service\, and more. \nLearn more about the lake sturgeon restoration efforts on the Saginaw Bay Sturgeon website (www.saginawbaysturgeon.org). \nGENERAL RELEASE EVENT QUESTIONS\, CONTACT \n\nMeaghan Gass\, Michigan Sea Grant Extension Educator\, gassmeag@msu.edu\, (989) 895-4026 ext. 5\nMike Kelly\, The Conservation Fund\, Great Lakes Office\, Director\, kellym@conservationfund.org\, (989) 892-9172
