The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is reminding anglers that ice shanty removal dates are quickly approaching. Ice shanties in the remaining counties of the Lower Peninsula must be removed by midnight on Tuesday, March 1. All other bodies of water in the Upper Peninsula must have ice shanties removed by midnight on Thursday, March 31. DNR officials are reminding anglers that regardless of the set removal dates, changing ice conditions could require the removal of fishing shanties before those dates. Deteriorating ice, water currents and high winds also increase the probability of pressure cracks, which can leave anglers and others stranded on ice floes or at risk of falling through the ice.

LANSING, MI – Size and take adjustments and expanded underwater spearfishing opportunities are among Michigan’s new fishing regulations for 2022.

DETROIT – Great Lakes water levels continue to track below 2020′s record levels. Lake Ontario recently fell slightly below long-term average levels, according to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers officials who track and forecast Great Lakes water levels. The February 2021 monthly mean water levels ranged from 7 to 23 inches below levels from this time last year. When ice jams occur, water levels downstream of the restriction decline, while water levels upstream of the restriction rise. The most recent six-month forecast of Great Lakes water levels predicts levels to remain below record high levels, but above average on all lakes, except Lake Ontario.

Now, ice is causing flooding along the connecting channel between Lake Huron and Lake St. Clair along Michigan’s thumb region. “This one did pop up rather quickly,” said Mark White, St. Clair County deputy emergency manager. But White said ice already in the river has nowhere to go because Lake St. Clair itself is now frozen over. “It would be fair to say that the severity of the flooding is linked to already high water levels,” he said. “The St. Clair River is just a big jamming spot,” he said.

“Most importantly, it’s the responsible thing to do,” said Kevin Drotos, invasive species and wildlife specialist at Ford House. “As soon as we heard we could fund the project, everyone at Ford House was on board and excited,” he added. “We’ve been working with Ford House for a while,” said Eric Ellis, project manager of the Coastal Conservation and Habitat Restoration Program with GLC. “Macomb County has lost almost every foot of its natural shoreline,” he said. The cost of the feasibility study is $230,634, including a $3,000 in-kind match from Ford House.

DETROIT – Racing sailboats is a niche sport, but it’s popular here in the Great Lakes state.

Several local sailboat enthusiasts wanted to reduce the environmental impact of the sport and came up with a new technology that has them in the running for a big prize. “When we were selected, it was a pretty powerful moment for the whole team,” said Kevin Morin. Morin, along with 10 others, invented the MarkSetBot -- a done that hovers in the water and acts as a marker during sailboat races.

The Great Lakes water levels are in their seasonal decline. The Great Lakes have been near or at record high water levels at some point in the past few years. While Lakes Michigan and Huron were at record water levels this past summer, the lakes are now around 10 inches below the record level. The six-month forecast of water levels keeps Lake Michigan and Lake Huron below record levels. One note though is that water levels could approach record levels in February and March of 2021.
