When Ron Wesley, president of Salmon Unlimited Wisconsin, met with members of his organization, they had more in common than just loving to boat and fish—many agreed that they needed a buoy.
Salmon Unlimited Wisconsin is headquartered near Racine and focuses on preserving a vibrant Lake Michigan fishery that supports the trout and salmon that many anglers love to catch. But for many members trying to understand the quickly-changing Lake Michigan waters, the nearest buoy was the Atwater 20m buoy, which is deployed north of Milwaukee, over 20 miles away.
So they decided to apply for a GLOS mini-grant in 2021.
