  • Physical Limnology of Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron
    PHYSICAL LIMNOLOGY OF SAGINAW BAY, LAKE HURON ALFRED M. BEETON U. S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries Biological Laboratory Ann Arbor, Michigan STANFORD H. SMITH U. S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries Biological Laboratory Ann Arbor, Michigan and FRANK H. HOOPER Institute for Fisheries Research Michigan Department of Conservation Ann Arbor, Michigan GREAT LAKES FISHERY COMMISSION 1451 GREEN ROAD ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN SEPTEMBER, 1967 PHYSICAL LIMNOLOGY OF SAGINAW BAY, LAKE HURON1 Alfred M. Beeton, 2 Stanford H. Smith, and Frank F. Hooper3 ABSTRACT Water temperature and the distribution of various chemicals measured during surveys from June 7 to October 30, 1956, reflect a highly variable and rapidly changing circulation in Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron. The circula- tion is influenced strongly by local winds and by the stronger circulation of Lake Huron which frequently causes injections of lake water to the inner extremity of the bay. The circulation patterns determined at six times during 1956 reflect the general characteristics of a marine estuary of the northern hemisphere. The prevailing circulation was counterclockwise; the higher concentrations of solutes from the Saginaw River tended to flow and enter Lake Huron along the south shore; water from Lake Huron entered the northeast section of the bay and had a dominant influence on the water along the north shore of the bay. The concentrations of major ions varied little with depth, but a decrease from the inner bay toward Lake Huron reflected the dilution of Saginaw River water as it moved out of the bay. Concentrations in the outer bay were not much greater than in Lake Huronproper.

  • Lake Huron Scuba Diving
    SOUTHERN LAKE ASSESSMENT SOUTHERN RECREATION PROFILE LAKE Scuba Diving: OPPORTUNITIES FOR LAKE HURON ASSESSMENT FINGER LAKES SCUBA LAKES FINGER The southern Lake Huron coast is a fantastic setting for outdoor exploration. Promoting the region’s natural assets can help build vibrant communities and support local economies. This series of fact sheets profiles different outdoor recreation activities that could appeal to residents and visitors of Michigan’s Thumb. We hope this information will help guide regional planning, business develop- ment and marketing efforts throughout the region. Here we focus on scuba diving – providing details on what is involved in the sport, who participates, and what is unique about diving in Lake Huron. WHY DIVE IN LAKE HURON? With wildlife, shipwrecks, clear water and nearshore dives, the waters of southern Lake Huron create a unique environment for scuba divers. Underwater life abounds, including colorful sunfish and unusual species like the longnose gar. The area offers a large collection of shipwrecks, and is home to two of Michigan’s 12 underwater preserves. Many of the wrecks are in close proximity to each other and are easily accessed by charter or private boat. The fresh water of Lake Huron helps to preserve the wrecks better than saltwater, and the lake’s clear water offers excellent visibility – often up to 50 feet! With many shipwrecks at different depths, the area offers dives for recreational as well as technical divers. How Popular is Scuba Diving? Who Scuba Dives? n Scuba diving in New York’s Great Lakes region stimulated more than $108 In 2010, 2.7 million Americans went scuba A snapshot of U.S.

The Lake Huron coast throughout the Thumb offers a variety of conditions for paddlers. The eastern shoreline has rocky areas and as you traverse north you will notice the changes. Paddlers should be prepared for these varied conditions. Once you round the point at Port Austin the shores become more sandy. There are some of the best beach areas of Michigan along this side of the trail as you move into Saginaw Bay. WELCOME TO THE TIP OF THE THUMB HERITAGE WATER TRAIL Signage has been placed along the trail marking identified access and egress points, which correspond to the GPS coordinates on your map and in your tour guide.

  • THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION of ATMOSPHERIC PRECIPITATION from SELECTED STATIONS in MICHIGAN CURTIS J. RICHARDSON, Resource Ecology
    THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF ATMOSPHERIC PRECIPITATION FROM SELECTED STATIONS IN MICHIGAN CURTIS J. RICHARDSON, Resource Ecology, School of Natural Resources, University of Michigan; and GEORGE E. MERVA, Department of Agricultural Engineering, Michigan State University. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Financial support for this study was provided by the Michigan State University Department of Agricultural Engineering and an NSF-RANN (project GI-34898) to The University of Michigan. We wish to thank M. Quade, Y. Wang, and J. Kruse for precipi- tation chemistry. D. Kiel and W. B. Rockwell were invaluable in the areas of computer management and statistical analyses. Cooperation of the Michigan Department of Health, The Michigan State Climatologists, The University of Michigan's Biological Station and School of Public Health, and the many wastewater treatment plant operators without whose help this report would not be possible, is gratefully acknowledged. ABSTRACT The pH and amount of rainfall from over 60 selected stations throughout northern and lower Michigan was determined from September 1972 to December 1974. Precipitation pH was determined for each station by calibrated electrode meters. The seasonal weighted average and median pH from all stations in the study was 5.0 and 6.3, respectively. Daily readings from stations throughout Michigan indicate that pH is dependent on the amount of rainfall and that variations in it are often locally controlled. Collectively the pH values suggest car- bonic acid control for most of the state. Annual median pH varied from a high of 8.45 at Dimondale, a station located 1.5 km from a concrete tile plant in central Michigan to 4.65 at Vassar, a small town located east of several industrial centers in the thumb region of the state.

Community Profile The City of Port Huron, Michigan is located geographically at the base of Lake Huron at the mouth of the St. Clair River. Fort St. Joseph was built at the location by the French in 1686. Fort St. Joseph guarded the upper end of the St. Clair River, the vital waterway joining Lake Erie and Lake Huron. Intended by the French to bar English traders from the upper lakes. In 1688, the French abandoned the fort. The site was incorporated into Fort Gratiot in 1814 following the War of 1812 by the United States, and the area later became Port Huron. The City of Port Huron was incorporated in 1857, and its population grew rapidly after the 1850s due to a high rate of immigration attracted by the successful shipbuilding and lumber trade.

Midland has evolved from an Indian village to the "City of Science and Culture." Midland's Wayfinding Signage The City of Midland was incorporated in 1887; three years later, a young electrochemical pioneer named Herbert Henry Dow arrived in Midland, attracted by the area’s plentiful brine wells, and subsequently founded The Dow Chemical Company. The growth and success of Dow has enabled Midland to become a cultural melting pot, attracting the minds of science, technology and innovation from around the globe.
