Ever wonder where the “happy fish”🐠 hang out? Good things were happening beneath the surface over the summer! Thanks to community support, GLEA’s fish crib project created safe spaces for fish to feed, hide, and grow. A little teamwork above the water makes a big difference below — and the fish are loving it!

More in our upcoming Fall newsletter!

It was a pleasure connecting with wooden boat enthusiasts from across the Midwest at the Geneva Lakes Boat Show at Abbey Harbor this past weekend. Henry, our outstanding Lake Manager, represented us at the CD3 watercraft cleaning station, where he educated attendees on the simple but important steps we can all take to help prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.

Henry also brought along samples of both native and non-native species, giving visitors a hands-on opportunity to learn the differences in the species and better understand the local ecosystem.
