All Too Clear

Documentary airs at the Bay Community Theatre

March 21, 2026

Those of us who grew up here remember cutting our feet on zebra mussels when swimming in our Lake Michigan waters. That was annoying enough, but quagga mussels, an even more aggressive and invasive species, are wreaking havoc in our waterways. On Sunday, March 29, at 4pm, the Bay Community Theatre in Suttons Bay hosts a three-part documentary series All Too Clear: Beneath the Surface of the Great Lakes. Filmmakers Zach Melnick and Yvonne Drebert, who compiled footage from 150 days of underwater filming in Lake Huron, consider the quagga invasion the “most significant ecological shift in the Great Lakes since the last ice age.” See the impacts on water quality, the food chain, whitefish, and more as the filmmakers explore what can be done to restore habitat and native species populations. General admission is $15; learn more at thebaytheatre.org/movie/made-in-michigan-all-too-clear.
