DEMA has actively supported the National Marine Sanctuaries since 1990, including testifying in 2008 before a House Subcommittee in favor of the reauthorization of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act.
Most recently, DEMA has been asked to support the creation of a National Marine Sanctuary in Lake Michigan along the coast of Wisconsin.
On June 18th, DEMA sent a letter to the Governor to express strong support for establishment of the proposed Wisconsin-Lake Michigan National Marine Sanctuary.
