NAMEPA, CYC Join on Marine Environment Education

The North American Marine Environment Protection Association (NAMEPA) heads to the Chicago Yacht Club to share its marine environment education materials with the local community. The Chicago Yacht Club hosts the 107th Annual Race to Mackinac on July 11, 2015.

 

NAMEPA joins the festivities with a visit to the Mini-Mac Family Event at the Chicago Yacht Club, Belmont Station on Wednesday, July 8, 2015 to share materials with the attendees, adults and children, about marine debris and the marine environment. NAMEPA is proud to connect with the Chicago Yacht Club for this event as we continue our efforts to educate the public about the marine environment and the importance of taking action to “Save Our Seas”.

 

At 333 miles (289.4 nautical miles), the Race to Mackinac is the oldest annual freshwater distance race in the world. ‘The Mac’ starts at the Chicago Lighthouse just east of Navy Pier and continues to Mackinac Island, Mich.
