Organizers are preparing for this year’s Sturgeon Festival, and a limited amount of tickets are now available for the live sturgeon encounter aboard the Huron Lady II on June 4th.
Friends of the St. Clair River (Friends) will be celebrating their 15th anniversary at this year’s Blue Water Sturgeon Festival, the organization’s largest annual fundraiser to support its local conservation and education programs.
Tickets are available for the Huron Lady Sturgeon Cruise, an event designed to connect the community with the scientists who study Lake Sturgeon under the Blue Water Bridges. Tickets for the cruise are available for $30 <HERE>.
Along with the cruise, there will will also be sturgeon Festival events at Lighthouse park on June 4th from 10 AM until 3 PM. Admission is free, and there will be many activities available for visitors to learn about Lake Sturgeon.
Sheri Faust, Friends President, said “Sturgeon have been around for 136 million years, but in the last century they’ve nearly been wiped out. Numerous federal and state partners invested $4.3 million to construct three fish spawning reefs in the St. Clair River to study environmental cues to spawning and mortality.”
