Ice breaking activities to resume on Monday

You will see Sturgeon Bay’s working waterfront in action on Monday, even if it affects your winter recreation activities. The United States Coast Guard announced Friday that their ships, the USCG Cutter Neah Bay and USCG Cutter Mackinaw will begin their ice-breaking missions the day before the opening of the regulated navigation area encompassing southern Green Bay.  The Port of Green Bay requested the opening of the Regulated Navigation Area to facilitate the start of the commercial shipping season and to take advantage of deteriorating ice buildup in the bay. The Mobile Bay and the Mackinaw will start in the northern part of the bay near Rock Island Passage on Monday before making their way to the south Later in the week, the vessels will head back to their north to break the ice near Escanaba and Marinette-Menominee before finishing with the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal. The U.S. Coast Guard asks that if you snowmobile, ATV, ice fish, or do any other winter activity on the ice near the path of the two United States Coast Guard cutters plan those trips carefully and use their best judgment.
