Summary
On July 26, 2018, the Beaver Island Historical Society presented a Water|Ways Symposium at the CMU Biological Station. The program covered Beaver Island shipwrecks, Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary, lake stewardship, clean-energy technology for the island, and the transition from survival to sustainability. The forum’s post-event discussion says the day was livestreamed and recorded.
