Stand Up for Great Lakes

Stand Up for Great Lakes Crossing Great Lakes by SUP to raise money and awareness for these amazing bodies of water. Also organizing beach cleanups and teaching SUP to youth!

We are surfers, paddlers, kayakers, fisherman, and sailors. We love our lakes – the great ones and the small ones – and the opportunity to make such a significant journey across one of them thrills us. We're also doing this to raise money for the Great Lakes. The lakes are under threat. Oil pipelines of questionable integrity, invasive species, sewage leakage, pharmaceutical pollution, agricultur

al runoff, and those people who think it’s okay to throw beer cans and cigarette butts wherever they please, the list of threats to these majestic and vital bodies of water is endless. The Thunder Bay Marine Sanctuary works to defend the lakes from these threats and preserve the lakes for generations to come.

Our board of directors meets every 3 months to discuss ways we can continue to support our local communities, raise awareness for the next generation, and keeping our lakes, rivers and streams clean. We know our waterways have been creating some challenges this week, but we wanted to share all the great things we were a part of last year!
