The 12^th Annual Water Watch Student Congress was held in Traverse City, Michigan, on May 19. 

The workshop focuses on water uses and issues across the Great Lakes. 

Approximately 20 agencies and organizations joined the Jordan River NFH in the event and  students came from nine schools in the Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School District. Students from grades six through 12 chose the class they wanted to attend.

Rick Westerhof and Paul Haver teamed up to provide a brief overview of the hatchery program and guided the students through a fish dissection.  Westerhof covered the hatchery information and Haver covered the fish dissection.
