Chicago, IL (January 20, 2021) – The Alliance for the Great Lakes congratulates and welcomes President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris as they begin their historic term in office. We look forward to working with the new administration on the issues that matter to the Great Lakes and the region’s residents.

Ensuring all communities have access to clean drinking water, more important than ever in the midst of a global pandemic; rebuilding the region’s crumbling water infrastructure; and making sure that climate decisions are made through the lens of environmental justice should all be at the top of the federal agenda.

While this is certainly a moment that deserves celebration, Great Lakes residents and advocates have high expectations for this administration to deliver on their promises to voters. Let’s get to work.

Principled Poet: Michigan’s Alison Swan tackles environmental issues on an experiential level in new book

In a Great Lakes world dominated by policy proclamations, fights for funding and the never-ending conflict between the triad of politicians, business and environmental interests, Michigan poet Alison Swan operates on a different level.

Fully cognizant of these struggles, Swan engages them on a human and experiential level through her poetry by calling “the reader to witness, appreciate and sustain this world before it becomes too late,” as described on the cover of her new book, “A Fine Canopy.”

“A Fine Canopy” is a collection of poems based on Swan’s life-long personal experiences, diverse locales where she has lived and material collected over decades.

Pandemic interrupts longtime Isle Royale wolf, moose study

By John Flesher, AP Environmental Writer

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — One of the world’s longest-running wildlife field studies has fallen prey to the coronavirus pandemic.

Since 1959, a research team has spent most of the winter observing the interplay between wolves and moose at Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior.

In: 2020 Carl J Eston Scholarship, Celeste Gunderson

Water in a fluid state does not take a fixed shape. Water in a fluid state can, however, shape what is around it. A case in point is the academic path and eventual career trajectory of Celeste Gunderson.

Celeste Gunderson, submitted photo.

In 2008 when she was an elementary-school student, Gunderson’s family home near the Milwaukee River and Lake Michigan suffered damage during a large rainstorm that overwhelmed the city’s stormwater management system. She recalled the day: “My sisters and I put on our rain boots and raincoats to observe large, raging streams of stormwater flow past our house in the direction of the Milwaukee River. Instead of drawing the water down in, we watched as the sewers in our neighborhood bubbled up with sewage and contributed to the mess.”

The immediate aftermath was scattered, mucky debris and a buckled neighborhood bike path. Not long after the event, the toll the storm took on the house became evident—extensive cracks in the walls and ceiling were appearing because the structure was sinking. The floodwater had eroded the foundational fill.

That was a defining time for Gunderson and, years later, as she considered where to attend college and what studies to pursue, the flooding driven by a changing climate came to mind—providing a shape to her intentions. She enrolled at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to pursue a double major in geography and environmental studies.

Gunderson is now in her junior year and is the recipient of the 2020 Carl J. Weston Scholarship from Wisconsin Sea Grant.

“I am really enjoying my experience with Wisconsin Sea Grant. I’ve been progressing through a lot of opportunities,” Gunderson said. “It’s been amazing to be a part of a community that I didn’t even realize existed before this. The scholarship was a great thing on top of all of that.”

Her mentor, Sea Grant’s Associate Director for Extension David Hart, called out Gunderson’s “outstanding scholarship and work ethic.” He directed her projects when she was an Undergraduate Research Scholar and as a Sea Grant Community Engaged Intern last summer. Now, Hart is overseeing her efforts to complete resilience story maps as part of a Southeast Wisconsin Coastal Resilience project, refining the previous internship project that used the GeoPlanner tool to look at the components and costs of a theoretical green infrastructure project in Madison and enhancements to the green infrastructure section of the Sea Grant website.

Like that fluid water, Gunderson’s future following her 2022 graduation is not fully defined but she is confident it will include a continued dedication to climate change and Great Lakes issues through graduate studies. After that, she said, “I’m not sure at this point. However, working through these internships and now the student hourly position has let me see jobs that everyone else has. That’s been really helpful, to see the different career paths.”

For years, thousands of Great Lakers have written letters, made calls, and attended public meetings to urge our state and federal leaders to act to keep invasive Asian Carp out of the Great Lakes.

There’s been a major step forward in the fight to stop invasive Asian carp.

Late last week, Illinois and Michigan took two big steps that bring us closer to installing new protections to stop invasive Asian carp, which are only about 50 miles downstream from Chicago and Lake Michigan.

Illinois Governor Pritzker signed an agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to begin the initial phases of an invasive Asian Carp prevention project at Brandon Road Lock and Dam near Joliet, Illinois. This location is a critical chokepoint to stop these fish before they reach Lake Michigan.

Additionally, Michigan has agreed to pitch in $8 million to help Illinois pay for the non-federal cost of the project. This action, led by Michigan Governor Whitmer, is a model of partnership that we hope to see more of in the future as we work to protect our region’s greatest natural resource.

At least 40 wells that provide private drinking water on French Island are contaminated with PFAS levels above recommended standards, the La Crosse Tribune reported Wednesday.

The findings come after La Crosse tested more than 100 private wells downstream from the La Crosse Regional Airport, which is situated on the northern half of the island along the Black River.
