The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides all persons (except persons incarcerated in correctional facilities) with access to public records of public bodies. Requests to inspect or receive public records from EGLE must be in writing and describe the requested records with enough detail to enable the department to identify and locate the requested records. Some records are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA or another statute and thus will not be provided. A fee may be charged to process your request. Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

EGLE staff demonstrating the fish fillet process at the Hesse-Earl Youth Fishing Program at Hawk Island Park in 2023.
Thanks to a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) Fish Contaminant Monitoring Program will conduct monitoring in 10 water bodies with youth fishing events in 2025. Two events have already taken place in February in Oscoda Township and Walled Lake Township.
As part of this grant, EGLE staff will be participating in some of these events, where they will assist participants with their fishing efforts, answer questions related to the program, perform a fillet demonstration, and collect samples for contaminant analyses. The data collected through this grant will be used by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services’ Eat Safe Fish program for fish consumption advisory development.
The six events listed below are scheduled so far, with more expected to be scheduled soon.
Questions related to this grant or to get more details once they are available, please reach out to Brandon Armstrong, aquatic biology specialist, at ArmstrongB5@Michigan.gov or 517-256-1853.
