TAKE ACTION - SIGN THIS ONLINE PETITION:
Save the Whitefish Point Light Station
Target: Secretary of Interior
Sponsored by: Whitefish Point Preservation Society
The Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society is destroying the history of the Whitefish Point Light Station and robbing precious habitat from a world class migration flyway. The Whitefish Point Light Station is on the National Historic Register and sits next to the Whitefish Point National Wildlife Refuge.
The Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society holds the Whitefish Point Light Station in trust for the people of the United States. This society violated the people's trust many times over many years, including extreme overdevelopment and commercialization of the site, unreported mercury spills, loss of rare plant species, loss of habitat on a major migration flyway, loss of historical integrity, buildings flooding, septic overflows, invasive species, traffic hazards, and attempts to ban access of watchdogs.
Please tell the Secretary of Interior to save the Whitefish Point Light Station from further destruction. Ask the Secretary of Interior to revoke the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society's federal land patent for the Whitefish Point Light Station and return it to the people of the United States.

Save Whitefish Point's History
Target : Administrator of the Federal Highway Administration
Sponsored by: Whitefish Point Preservation Society
The Whitefish Point Light Station is on the National Historic Register and sits next to the Whitefish Point National Wildlife Refuge. The Federal Highway Administration's ongoing expenditure of federal funds on the Whitefish Point Light Station triggers a Section 106 review - a legal protection of national historic resources mandated by the National Historic Preservation Act.
Time after time the public has been denied a reasonable opportunity to participate in a full Section 106 review and the public's comment has never been given consideration in the development of the Whitefish Point Light Station. Its historical integrity and fragile, unique environment has been degraded by extreme overdevelopment and commercialization, unreported mercury spills, loss of rare plant species, loss of habitat on a major migration flyway, buildings flooding, septic overflows, invasive species, and traffic hazards.
Please help us save the Whitefish Point Light Station by granting a Section 106 review that will mitigate and correct the damage done to the Whitefish Point Light Station.
