They’re back.
Don Fassbender and the Great Lakes Scuba Diving and Lake Preservation Club, who use volunteer divers to survey various locations for debris cleanup, were in Baraga County last weekend. “We met up with a few local scuba divers and hopped in the lake near the
L’Anse Township campground a couple miles outside the city,” Fassbender said. “We had about seven or eight scuba divers. There were a few people there from Superior Watershed. We had a boat and got a bunch of tires that were out in the lake. There were 14 to 15 of them. There was a big piece of medal like from a small boat or something.
