Erik Grams was 12 years old when he first went camping in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northern Minnesota. Ever since that trip, he’s been coming back again and again. It’s his favorite place in the world.

“I really feel – when I’m in the Boundary Waters – that I’m in my element,” said Erik.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has published the results and recommendations that came from a 2021-22  Waterway Benefits Study of the St. Louis River Estuary. The study was conducted to explore the estuary community’s deep connections to the St. Louis River, Lake Superior, and local streams to help increase access and guide decision-making.

During the study, 532 residents were surveyed about their experiences with Lake Superior, the Estuary, and local streams in the previous year. Follow-up interviews were conducted later with 42 survey participants about their relationships with water. This fact sheet offers an overview of the study’s findings. 

Other project partners include the Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve and the University of Minnesota Duluth.

President Donald Trump has made rethinking international trade policy a centerpiece of his second administration. While Congress generally has the authority to regulate international trade, it has also delegated some of this authority to the president. On Feb. 1, Trump announced he would be imposing 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, with a 10% tariff on Canadian energy.

Joel Brammeier, ​President & CEO

Invasive carp are headed toward the Great Lakes, advancing up the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers where they have already wreaked havoc. The Brandon Road project – a series of underwater deterrents and barriers at an existing lock in Illinois – is our best chance to stop them before they threaten the region’s $5.1 billion fishing and $16 billion recreational boating industries.

To date, the U.S. Congress has appropriated $274 million, and the States of Illinois and Michigan have provided $114 million and signed a project partnership agreement detailing their respective obligations to move the project forward. Initial contracts have been awarded for the first phase of construction. Work is underway.

On Tuesday, the project’s groundbreaking celebration was put on hold when Illinois put a temporary pause on transferring some land needed for the project. The state wants assurances from the Trump Administration that future federal funding will be available for the project so that it can be finished.

Any delay or halt of construction of this project threatens the economy and environment of the Great Lakes and opens the door to yet another invasive species to do irreversible damage to the Great Lakes and to the people who call it home.

This is yet another example of the ways federal funding is critical to the Great Lakes. While this project site is located in Illinois, it will benefit every Great Lakes state. Invasive carp don’t stop at state lines. We’re fortunate that the project, which has been guided by more than a decade of advocacy, enjoys broad support across the region and in Congress from members of both parties.  

We will continue to watch this closely and will update you when there are new developments. And we’ll continue speaking out in support of the project, including in these stories this week:

Chicago Tribune: Pritzker delays start of invasive carp project at Brandon Road in Joliet amid federal funding concerns

WGN TV: Asian Carp barrier project on Des Plaines River delayed as federal funds hang in limbo

NBC 5 Chicago: State delays Joliet invasive carp project over ‘anticipated lack of funding’

Chicago PBS: Illinois Puts Invasive Carp Barrier on Hold, Pritzker Says Trump Administration Can’t Be Trusted as Funding Partner

Wisconsin Public Radio: Illinois delays project to keep invasive carp out of Great Lakes, cites uncertainty over federal funding

Speak Out for the Great Lakes

The Great Lakes can’t speak for themselves. But you can speak out for them! Contact your elected officials, take a pledge, or work for change in your own community.
