New community of practice focuses on western Lake Superior hazards
2020-05-05
Information provided by Melanie Perello, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
CHAOS has come to Lake Superior. However, it’s organized chaos, so that’s a good thing.
CHAOS stands for the Coastal Hazards of Superior. The group, organized by the Coastal programs and Sea Grant programs in Minnesota and Wisconsin, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office for Coastal Management and the Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve, is a community of practice for sharing knowledge and resources about natural hazards that affect Lake Superior coastal communities in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
It provides an opportunity for local community leaders, managers, researchers and communicators to engage over concerns about coastal hazards across western Lake Superior. Recent storms, flooding and shoreline erosion have strained local communities, making CHAOS’ goal of building collaborations among groups impacted by these hazards even more important.
Membership is free and open to all. To join or for more information, contact Melanie Perello at Minnesota’s Lake Superior Coastal Program: melanie.perello@state.mn.us.

The group hosted its first event on April 29, a webinar attended by more than 70 participants, featuring presentations on Lake Superior water levels and lakeshore flood modeling and forecasting. Deanna Apps, a physical scientist at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Detroit District, explained historical and recent lake levels, the drivers of water level fluctuations and how the Army Corps forecasts future conditions.
Joseph Moore, warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service-Duluth Office, highlighted efforts to model and forecast lakeshore flooding events and explained the need for reports of lakeshore flooding storm damages.
Following the presentations, webinar participants had the opportunity to network in small breakout groups to discuss actions they will take in response to the information shared.
A recording of the presentations is being edited and will soon be shared on the Wisconsin Sea Grant’s YouTube Channel.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – High water level resources
Apps highlighted several resources available from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers:
Water Level Forecasts: https://www.lre.usace.army.mil/Missions/Great-Lakes-Information/Great-Lakes-Water-Levels/Water-Level-Forecast/
Water Level Observations: https://www.lre.usace.army.mil/Missions/Great-Lakes-Information/Great-Lakes-Information-2/Water-Level-Data/

Living on the Coast: https://publications.aqua.wisc.edu/product/living-on-the-coast-protecting-investments-in-shore-property-on-the-great-lakes/
Report storm damages to the National Weather Service (NWS)
Moore highlighted the importance of observational data for lakeshore flood modeling and projections. The NWS seeks reports of damages attributed to recent and past storm events — cost estimates and photos or videos are extremely valuable. These reports are useful not only for current modeling but will become part of the official storm record and help improve future modeling.

H.O.M.E.School Week 5: Food Chains & Food Webs
2020-05-04
So many fantastic plants and animals call the Great Lakes their HOMES. Their habitats are in or near the Great Lakes because that’s where they find the food, water, and shelter they need.
In this lesson, your child will choose a Great Lakes creature to learn more about – including what it eats and what animal eats it. Then, they’ll diagram a food chain. Students will see how the plants and animals that live in and around the Great Lakes are connected.
Time/Materials
This activity will take between 30 minutes and an hour.
You’ll need:
- Computer
- Paper
- Drawing materials
- Optional: printer
Ready? Head to the Classroom!
Watch the video below to learn about food webs.
Share the Learning
Ask your kids: What foods do you or your pet eat? Is it mostly plants or animals? What about the animals you see out your window or when visiting a Great Lakes habitat. Can you make a simple food chain for those creatures?
Activity
- Option 1: Use our Web of Life page to create a food chain by drawing lines with arrows to show what is eaten by each of those creatures. If the creature is a plant, where does it get its energy from? Draw a line from its energy source to the creature. (You can find the completed food chain drawing on page 1 of our Web of Life lesson plan.)
- Option 2: Choose one of the Great Lakes Creature Cards, and start a food web. Use the information on the back of the card to connect them to what they eat, and who eats them. Then connect those creatures to what they eat and who eats them. And so on! If you want to print Creature Cards: 1) Select double-sided print, 2) Select “Flip on short edge,” 3) Under page sizing, select “Fit” (rather than “Actual Size”).
Extra Credit
Parents: Take a photo of your Great Lakes food chain or food web, and share it on social media. Tag us in your creations, and we may share it with others!

- The Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory has created sample food webs for each of the 5 Great Lakes and Lake St. Clair. Visit the GLERL website.
- Have fun making a Tangled Web of Great Lakes plants and animals with this Great Lakes in My World lessons for grades 4 and up. Students make a food web using yarn to demonstrate the connections between Great Lakes species, discuss the significance of the complexity of the web, and discover the impacts of changes to the web (e.g. overfishing, pollution).
