SUMMARY:Sturgeon Release Celebrations
DESCRIPTION:Community members and conservation partners are invited to help restore young lake sturgeon into the Saginaw Bay watershed each August and September. At no-cost\, participants help release more than 100 native sturgeon into each tributary of the Saginaw River system. \n\n\n\nThe juvenile sturgeon being released on Friday\, August 22 come from the Black River in Cheboygan County. They hatched in the river as a result of natural reproduction. \nIn late May 2025\, researchers from the Michigan State University Department of Fisheries & Wildlife and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources moved the fish to the Black Lake Streamside Rearing Facility for safekeeping. The young fish spent the summer growing to 4-6 inches in length before their release into the Saginaw River system. \nAll are welcome. Registration is not required. ​ \nFor general 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\, 989-892-9171​\n\n\n\n\nEvent Locations\n\n\n\n\n\n11am | Tittabawassee River \nWhere: Bob G.
