One River, Many Voices The spirit of cooperative conservation at work in the many coastal redevelopment projects along the Detroit River received national recognition in 2005. Michigan Sea Grant educator Barry Murray was among the team who presented the Detroit River story One River, Many Voices for the White House Cooperative Conservation Conference in St. Louis, August 29-31. The story highlighted the critical partnerships working together on behalf of the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge, Greater Detroit American Heritage River Initiative, Riverfront Conservancy, greenways initiatives and other coastal redevelopment projects including successful soft engineering efforts along the riverfront. The Detroit River panel also included John Hartig of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Mary Bohling of DTE Energy, and Anita Twardesky, Woodhaven Parks and Recreation Director, representing the Downriver Linked Greenways Initiative.
