Welcome to South Haven, MI

Because of its position on Lake Michigan, at the mouth of the Black River, South Haven has always been a port city. During settlement, major ship lines stopped there, both passenger and freight. In the early 1900s South Haven became a resort town, sometimes referred to as “The Catskills of the Midwest”. South Haven is a major regional tourist draw because of its recreational harbor and beaches.

Advancing Active Acoustics: How Scientists Use Sound to Monitor a Three-Dimensional Ocean

11/9/2026

By fisheries.noaa.gov, fisheries.noaa.gov. The ocean is a three-dimensional world. Life moves vertically and horizontally through the water, often across large areas and at depths scientists cannot easily observe.
