The MIGREATBAY partnership celebrates all things GREAT in the Saginaw BAY and River coastal community. Focusing on Agricultural, Cultural, Historic and Natural Resources in the coastal region we hope the website will provide you with information on the many great things to do in the coastal communities surrounding the Saginaw Bay and River. Historic and present day fisheries, both sport and commercial fishing alike, have shaped coastal communities of the Saginaw Bay region. These fisheries are as valued and important to the region today as they have been in the past, and offer a diversity of fisheries-connected opportunities and experiences for visitors to the region.
