43 | For the Love of Fishing, For the Love of Water (Duluth, MN)

Thank you for listening to The Watershed, a podcast of We Are Water MN. In this episode, we hear from Robert Hering, whose multiple professional endeavors all connect to water: he is a charter captain on Lake Superior, he sells fishing equipment at Marine General, and he farms in Southern Minnesota.

Robert shares water memories and reflects on how the Duluth area is a special place for its pristine waters. He loves sharing this place with the people he guides on charters and hopes Minnesotans can come together to protect its waters. What does that protection look like? How can we work together to that end?

The We Are Water MN exhibit will be hosted by Hartley Nature Center in Duluth from February 29 through April 22, 2024. After Hartley, it will move to four other communities throughout the state of Minnesota: Holdingford (Stearns County Soil and Water Conservation District in partnership with Art in Motion on the Lake Wobegon Trail), Chisago County, Cass Lake (Leech Lake Tribal College), and Shakopee (Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community).

We Are Water MN is led by the Minnesota Humanities Center in partnership with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency; the Minnesota Historical Society; the Board of Water and Soil Resources; the Minnesota Departments of Agriculture, Health, and Natural Resources; and University of Minnesota Extension.

We are Water MN is funded in part with money from the Clean Water, Land, & Legacy Fund that was created with the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008 and by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
