They protect some of the region's most sensitive and historic underwater resources. The Michigan Underwater Preserve Council, Inc. (MUPC) will support the collective mission of Michigan's Underwater Preserves by speaking as their unified voice, offering collective communication, and promoting and advocating on their behalf to help maintain Michigan's rich underwater history. MUPC will also encourage the responsible discovery, preservation, education and visitation of historic resources on Michigan's bottomlands through SCUBA diving, snorkeling and other means.
