Venture Aboard the MTU Research Vessel, Agassiz

The question "How do scientists investigate the health of Lake Superior?" will be the focus of free scientific excursions aboard Michigan Tech’s research vessel, Agassiz, offered at the Strawberry Festival in Chassell, Michigan, from 12:30-6 p.m. Saturday (July 10).

On each scientific excursion, Kenny Larsen (CEGE/GLRC) will show how data is collected on water clarity, temperature and turbidity, and explain what that tells us about the health of Lake Superior and Chassell Bay. He will explain the link between land uses and the health of the Great Lakes.

Members of the public are invited to reserve a space on the Agassiz, and are also welcome to come to the Chassell Marina dock Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. to get on the list. Each excursion has room for 18 participants, and half of available spaces will be saved for walk-up participants. Spaces will go quickly!

Excursion Departure Times:
12:30, 1:15, 2:00, 2:45, 3:30, 4:15 and 5:00 p.m.

All participants must wear closed-toe shoes. Children must be at least 7 years old and accompanied by an adult. Life jackets will be available for all passengers. 

The Agassiz is funded by the GM Ride the Waves Program, which puts 600 Copper Country youth and adults on the water each year to learn about the health of the Great Lakes and Lake Superior, and to promote Great Lakes stewardship.

Additional financial support for the Agassiz at the Strawberry Festival is provided by the Chassell Lions Club.
