your welcome, Jared

I can't speak for all of the NMS's, the majority of the displayed artifacts here in Alpena have been donated / given to NOAA by local residents, I for one. There were no threats, no law enforcement at the door. I just asked the Archaeologist "I have a artifact from the Nordmeer, would you like...

Yes they do, however the State isn't known for throwing the book at wreck thieves, maybe a slap on the hand. NOAA has their own lawyers that will prosecute these people. The one that sticks out in my mind is the case of the Northwestern, up in Rogers City the individual was caught with numerous...

Yes, and yes. Why would one think they need permission to dive Thunder Bay

Thunder Bay NOAA has received the majority of the artifacts from local citizens that collected them during the pre-underwater preserve era, the State has also turned over the artifacts they have "received". So these artifacts were all ready sitting in a warehouse, pole barn, or yard rotting. It...

My experience of diving here in Alpena (Thunder Bay NMS) is a positive one. One can dive anywhere within Thunder Bay NMS, the local community has a great working relationship with the people that work at NOAA in Alpena. I don't know how other Sanctuaries are managed, I recall a few years back...

here is a listing of the charters running out of Alpena, Dive Charters and this is Joes website, Thunder Bay Scuba

We dive the Middle Island sinkhole with private boats, and the charter boats will also stop there. Here is a youtube video of the sinkhole: YouTube - Middle Island Sinkhole - Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary - August 15-16, 2006 Some NOAA pictures of the sinkhole also. Fieldwork 2007 The...

There are a few of us who dive them regularly, they are pretty much just sinkholes. No caves or caverns have been associated with them... yet. We have one accessible by boat just off Middle Island in the 70' range, that is a really cool dive, the rest are land locked on State land which has...

Some of the wrecks Thunder Bay would be a nice collection.

When your in TC drive over to Alpena, for a weekend, there is always someone looking to dive the wrecks / sinkholes.
