Rally to Protect Our Beaches
Wednesday, October 28 from 8:00-9:00am
Sunset Park, Traverse City
Later this month, beach scientists, managers, and government officials from across the country will gather in Traverse City for the National Beach Summit, hosted by EGLE and the Great Lakes Beach Association. They’ll spend days talking about water quality, bacteria testing, and the latest monitoring technology — but they won’t be talking about one of the Great Lakes’ biggest threats: the Line 5 pipeline.
Join Oil & Water Don’t Mix and partners at Traverse City’s Sunset Park, and tell EGLE and conference attendees to take the Line 5 threat seriously and protect our beaches from Enbridge. Coffee, cider, and donuts provided!
Costumes are encouraged! Dress as something that depends on the Great Lakes. You could be a lake sturgeon, a piping plover, a lighthouse keeper, a glass of tap water, a tourist, etc. The most creative costume wins a prize!
