For starters the St. Clair River is under common law, the owner of the property has the rights to what ever is in front of his yard. This is stated from the State of Michigan, I have made many phone calls before we started to bring up the large items. I have also talked with my State Reps. on the subject. The St.Clair River is not any part of any prerserve. And is also called bottom lands. The shipping companies do not want the anchors and anchor chain in the river, because when they drop their anchors and it hooks another anchor that weighs 10,000 pounds plus 10,000 pounds of anchor chain their anchor is lost also. And the old saying is all so true,a chain is as only strong as it's weakest link, and that is how so many end up in the river. The river current is 6-8 mph where we do most of are diving, vis can get up to 50 feet at times and other times you can not see 6".
