The Citizens Environment Alliance presents the 2012 State of the River tour.

The four hour tour aboard the Macassa Bay cruise ship features expert narration about the Detroit River’s environmental hot spots and unique fish and wildlife habitats, and highlights why the need is so great to continue to value this special river and offers tips of what we can do what we can to protect it.

There will also be five guest speakers:
