Welcome to Algonac, MI

Algonac is located at the southern end of the St. Clair River, just before it splits into a large delta region known as the St. Clair Flats. The St. Clair River drains Lake Huron into Lake St. Clair and is part of the Great Lakes Waterway. Algonac is situated on what is called “the largest fresh-water delta in the world”, at the mouth of the St. Clair River. The city has many canals, which have earned Algonac its nickname of “The Venice of Michigan.” At the center of Algonac is Algonac City Park, a park which contains a half-mile long boardwalk along the St. Clair River. Just to the north of the city is Algonac State Park.

Managing Genetic Risk in Offshore Aquaculture

9/19/2026

By fisheries.noaa.gov, fisheries.noaa.gov. Aquaculture can sustainably produce seafood to complement wild-caught fisheries. However, like all food systems, aquaculture requires sound science to ensure farmed species don’t harm wild species. Scientists at NOAA’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center are working to understand the genetic risks in offshore aquaculture. NOAA has identified 21,000… SEE MORE

Nine Species of Deep-Sea Sponges Discovered in Alaska

9/18/2026

By fisheries.noaa.gov, fisheries.noaa.gov. Scientists have discovered nine new species of sponges in the Gulf of Alaska and Aleutian Islands. The specimens were collected during the Alaska Fisheries Science Center’s long-standing annual bottom trawl surveys, which monitor the condition of groundfish and shellfish stocks in Alaskan waters. For these sponge studies, researchers… SEE MORE

Start-Up Beaver Dams Transform Parched California Creeks into Salmon Havens, New Research Finds

9/17/2026

By fisheries.noaa.gov, fisheries.noaa.gov. Battered by early gold mining and diminished by logging and diversions,the lower section of Sugar Creek often ran dry in summer. The tributary of the Scott River in Northern California’s Klamath Basin once supported coho salmon—but as it diminished, so did they. In 2014, NOAA Fisheries researchers… SEE MORE
