Watershed Initiative Program

EPA Grant - Targeted Watershed Initiative

This grant has allowed the Tribe to study the effects of common restoration practices over a watershed. Research focused on measurable results and alterations in water quality. We will be looking at the response of water chemistry, habitat, macroinvertebrates and fish communities over time. The Big Manistee watershed is composed of approximately 1,780 square miles in northwest Lower Michigan and contains parts of 12 counties. The Tribe utilizes numerous resources that the watershed provides.
