UW Sea Grant audio specialist Chris Bocast starts off on a podcast road trip to visit Lake Michigan, and to discover the various research and outreach projects that UW Sea Grant supports.

First stop is Whitefish Dunes State Park: on the way to the beach, a stroll through the reconstruction of a pre-settlement Indian encampment brings to mind aspects of the lake’s history, while the shore itself stirs thoughts about the challenges and changes facing Lake Michigan, which are detailed in a chat with UW Sea Grant director Jim Hurley.
