In a 2011 photo provided by the Michigan Sea Grant, a rescue line bag and ring buoy are seen from the Great Lakes Water Safety Conference 2011 in Gaylord, Mich. An effort to prevent people from drowning due to dangerous currents along the Great Lakes includes installing kits with life-saving aids including a ring buoy at 10 public beaches along Lake Michigan. Michigan Sea Grant announced Monday, May 19, 2014, that kits will be installed this summer. Additional support from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is expected to put similar equipment on beaches across the Great Lakes region over the next two years.
