GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – UW-Green Bay educator Robert Fish is taking to the water this summer, joining scientists and staff from the Center for Great Lakes Literacy aboard the EPA research vessel Lake Guardian for a weeklong scientific expedition.

Fish, who serves as the Tribal Engagement Coordinator at UW-Green Bay, works with tribal schools to create and promote educational programs focused on wetlands, estuaries, and coastlines. His work connects water science to Wisconsin First Nation history, culture, and sovereignty.

“I’m really looking forward to doing scientific research that can directly impact our understanding of the tribal history and presence in the Bay of Green Bay and also the Great Lakes in general,” Fish said before the trip. “With some of the lakebed mapping efforts happening through this project, we could find Indigenous sites, which could bring what many consider ancient tribal history into a contemporary light.”
