LSSU Fish Hatchery Releases 27,000 Fish Into St. Mary’s River and Announces First Endowed Position
LSSU released 27,000-plus Atlantic salmon yearlings that it had spawned and raised into the St. Mary's River, continuing a decades-long tradition of annual replenishment and mindful sustainability. The refilling occurred on June 8 late in the evening to deter birds from swooping in to feed.
The event also honored Martin Vanderploeg, CEO and cofounder of Workiva Inc., a cloud-based software technology company for managing business data and headquartered in Ames, IA, who made a significant donation to CFRE, who enjoys freshwater fishing on the St. Marys River, and who called CFRE “a world-class program” and the Atlantic salmon release “a great event for the community.” LSSU designated the batch of Atlantic salmon the “Vanderploeg Class of 2022” in recognition of his late father.

Lake Superior State University’s Center for Freshwater Research and Education (CFRE) expands its many conservation efforts through the recent strategic deployment of oil pollution sensors along Upper Great Lakes shorelines.
LSSU teamed with Ann Arbor-based LimnoTech, an environmental science and engineering firm that provides water-related services, on the oil pollution sensors; the company fabricates and operates them in the Great Lakes. Now, three have been placed along the St. Marys River and one is off the coast of Sugar Island. Lake State and LimnoTech received $10,000 in rapid-response funding from the Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research to underwrite the cost.
