Summer Educational Cruises
Minnesota Sea Grant, in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin Extension Service, took over 1,200 people from more than 100 communities over six summers onto the waters of Lake Superior to examine coastal conditions and discuss stormwater management. During 70 half-day outings conducted from eight ports, participants explored how human activities influence water quality and conducted water quality tests.
The View from the Lake Lake Superior educational cruises aboard the R/V. L.L. Smith are not available at this time. We hope to offer a full schedule of trips in future years, so please indicate by emailing seagr@d.umn.edu!
