Human Use/Natural Resource Management Plan for Whitefish Point 12-6-2002

Each year, thousands of people visit Whitefish Point for the rich experience that it offers—to observe the spectacular bird migrations, to better understand Michigan’s fascinating maritime culture, and simply to stand on the shores of Lake Superior and enjoy the experience of this unique and wonderful place. It hosts a variety of different uses and is owned and managed by three separate entities – the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society (GLSHS), Michigan Audubon Society (MAS), and United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).

This plan explains the roles and responsibilities of each of the three entities in relationship to the Point.
