Kathy Johnson & Greg Lashbrook
For more than 30 years Greg Lashbrook and Kathy Johnson have worked with scuba certification classes, on search & rescue operations, for commercial hardhat companies and assisted researchers across the Great Lakes basin. Their work with US Fish and Wildlife, Departments of Natural Resources and Fishes & Oceans Canada, among other organizations, has established them as Great Lakes marine life experts.
In 1990 Greg and Kathy published their first book on Great Lakes diving and have since published articles for publications such as Michigan Natural Resources magazine, Sport Diver magazine and USA Today. From the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto to SHEDD Aquarium in Chicago and TV Japan in Tokyo, Greg and Kathy are working hard to raise awareness of the importance of freshwater marine life.
In 2007 they assisted with the filming of Mysteries of the Great Lakes the only IMAX film currently featuring the Great Lakes region. National Geographic TV’s 2010 Monster Fish season premiere included some of their lake sturgeon footage. In 2011 Greg and Kathy released a new full length documentary entitled Manistee Nmé, a Lake Sturgeon Success Story.
