Cooperative effort removes tons of ‘problem’ sand from Michigan’s Au Sable River

The main branch of Michigan’s Au Sable River has a lot less sand in it after a three-week operation this summer employed pumps to moved it to nearby uplands.
The work, performed by Northpoint Fisheries Management and funded by conservation groups moved 240 cubic yards of sand, which was raising the water and covering important substrate, said retired Department of Natural Resources fisheries biologist Steve Sendek, who ran the program.
