The Moth StorySLAM -- Crossroads
2022-09-01 18:30 - 21:30 (America/New_York) | Marble Bar, 1501 Holden Street, Detroit, MI, 48208, United States
CROSSROADS: Prepare a five-minute story about a turning point in your life. Do or die, now or never. Saying or doing something you can never take back. Turning down the job, saying yes to the tattoo, breaking up with not-the-one. Opportunities, decisions or indecision. Am I this stray dog’s forever home? Taking the high road or the low road. Right, left or full steam ahead.
We will not be selling any tickets at the door.

2022-09-02 13:30 - 14:00 | MI
Shipwrecks, sailors’ stories, artifacts from bygone eras. The history of the Great Lakes is not only on display at NOAA’s current and proposed national marine sanctuaries on the Great Lakes, it’s there for visitors of all ages to engage with and enjoy.
Join WDET’s own Nick Austin (host of Soul Saturday, producer for Detroit Today) and Great Lakes Now’s Sandra Svoboda to learn more about visiting these unique places, whether you’re a tourist on land or a diver in the water.
View a new video from WPBS-TV in Watertown, New York about Lake Ontario’s proposed sanctuary, and ask questions (and get answers) about the sanctuaries and their shipwrecks from NOAA experts.
Guests:

Ellen Brody, Great Lakes Regional Coordinator, NOAA’s Office of the National Marine Sanctuaries
Stephanie Gandulla, Resource Protection Coordinator, Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary
David White, Recreation Specialist, New York Sea Grant
