    Can you add Inland Seas Education Association to your map? We are a nonprofit in Suttons Bay, MI that has been providing environmental education programs about the Great Lakes for over 30 years. Youth and adults participate in hands-on activities aboard our vessels, along our constructed wetland, and in the Capt. Thomas M. Kelly Biological Station. Learn more about us at schoolship.org.
