Summary
In April 2012, the Beaver Island Wildlife Club said it was working with Michigan DNR fisheries staff on improving fish habitat in St. James Harbor. The Club asked residents for factual information about past cleanups, submerged docks, pilings, and other underwater remains.
A reply supplied local memories about old harbor hulks, dredging, spoil placement, yacht-dock construction, and the removal of pilings. Those details are useful research leads but are not treated here as verified engineering, government, or maritime records.
Evidence limits
The thread establishes the Club’s request and its stated DNR collaboration. It does not establish that a habitat project was completed, identify permits or engineering records, or verify the reply’s historical recollections.
