Water 101 with The Watershed Center

June 15, 2026

This week’s Northern Express — sister publication of The Ticker — features an interview with The Watershed Center Grand Traverse Bay to get an update on our region's water health, recent changes from big storms, and important need-to-knows for beachgoers as we head into the summer swim season. Read the full story here.

Waterkeeper Heather Smith emphasizes that it’s the community surrounding this watershed that contributes toward its health and conservation. “Many folks come here because of the water. We just want to make sure that people are paying attention, are speaking up, and are making behavior changes.”
