                    Lake Superior Cruises Offered

Registration is open for the fourth season of "A View From the Lake" 
cruises. Water quality specialists from the University of Minnesota Sea 
Grant Program and the University of Wisconsin Extension will board the 
L.L Smith, Jr. with citizens and the research vessel's crew to discuss 
Lake Superior.

For $20, participants will get a fish-eye's view of the lake's ecology, 
hear the latest information about: low water levels, the warming waters 
of the lake, invasive species, and stormwater runoff. During the 3-hour 
boat tour, participants will also collect and view samples of 
microscopic plants and animals, and see what the coast of Lake Superior 
looks like.

These educational cruises sell out quickly. Registration is available 
on the Web at http://www.seagrant.umn.edu/vfl or by calling Minnesota
