Site Survey Underwater Training -
Summer 2009
WUAA will conduct a workshop on underwater site survey methods with
an underwater component in Milwaukee at a date and location to be
announced. For more information please check the WUAA web site at
wuaa.org or send an email to wuaa@mailbag.com.
The WUAA will conduct underwater site surveys in the Bailey’s Harbor area during Summer 2009. WUAA will also conduct survey work in the Milwaukee area on the Milwaukee Fireboat #23. Survey work may also be done at the Clay Banks sites. Volunteer divers are needed for measuring and sketching work. Underwater photographers are also needed to aid in the documentation. It would also be very helpful to have boats available to bring divers to the sites. If you are interested in participating contact Russ Leitz at 715-258-2935 or send an email to wuaa@mailbag.com.
