The Cabin

Diving in The Dairyland: Wisconsin Shipwrecks and Sanctuaries

Episode Summary

Every week we talk about how to discover Wisconsin by land, or on water, but…what about under the water? There is so much of our waters that has yet to be explored, and Lake Michigan specifically, has some of the most incredible things waiting to be uncovered. In this episode, we dive under the fresh water with two experts in lakeshore resources, conservation, and marine sanctuaries to talk about what shipwrecks they’ve found so far – and where you can go explore for yourself! Celebrate Lake Michigan Day with us on Friday, August 12th and remember these tips on how to be a good steward of our Wisconsin waters. After all, when you come for the shipwrecks, you’ll stay for the conservation.
