The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is looking for volunteers to serve as harbor hosts as part of a pilot project at Straits and Presque Isle state harbors this summer.

The state will waive harbor slip fees for volunteers who offer hospitality and service for boaters, possibly including helping boaters in and out of slips, hosting a weekly coffee hour, and cleaning sidewalks and docks of debris.

Applications are being accepted now. Applications can be filled out here: https://tinyurl.com/rteelen

To serve as a harbor host, you must be 18 or older and provide your own boat, mooring lines, hoses, electrical hookup cables, and dock bumpers and be able to volunteer at least five days a week for a minimum of four weeks, including weekends and holidays.
