The WUAA will conduct underwater site surveys in the Bailey’s Harbor area during Summer 2008. 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.
