Great Lakes Commission approves regional blueprint for water infrastructure, calls for increased icebreaking capacity

Erie, Pa. – The Great Lakes Commission (GLC) passed resolutions calling for increased icebreaking capacity in the Great Lakes basin and celebrating the 50th anniversaries of the Clean Water Act and the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement at its 2022 Annual Meeting, held this week in Erie, Pennsylvania. The GLC also approved a blueprint sharing approaches for improving water infrastructure improvements in the basin.

“The Great Lakes Commission is continuing its work on critical Great Lakes issues, including calling on lawmakers to fund a new heavy icebreaker to protect the region’s $6 trillion economy during winter months, and approving a plan to improve water infrastructure in the basin,” said GLC Chair Todd L. Ambs, of Wisconsin. “Thanks to our commissioners, observers, and partners for joining us in Erie this week.”

During the meeting, the GLC heard remarks from U.S. Water Alliance CEO Mami Hara, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission Executive Director Tim Schaeffer, and Erie Mayor Joe Schember. The GLC convened expert panels on ensuring access to safe drinking waters, decarbonization in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway System, Great Lakes cruise tourism and water use and demand. The GLC also unanimously reelected Ambs, and its vice chair, Ohio Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Mary Mertz. In advance of the meeting, Great Lakes Commissioners and guests visited Erie Water Works’ Chestnut Street pumping station on the shore of Presque Isle Bay, and the Erie Maritime Museum, which hosts the historic US Brig Niagara.

The GLC will next meet in Washington, D.C., for the annual Great Lakes Day Congressional Breakfast Reception on March 9, 2023, and in Chicago for its Semiannual Meeting on May 23-25, 2023.

The Great Lakes Commission, led by chair Todd L. Ambs, deputy secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (retired), is a binational government agency established in 1955 to protect the Great Lakes and the economies and ecosystems they support. Its membership includes leaders from the eight U.S. states and two Canadian provinces in the Great Lakes basin. The GLC recommends policies and practices to balance the use, development, and conservation of the water resources of the Great Lakes and brings the region together to work on issues that no single community, state, province, or nation can tackle alone.

Pioneering researcher of Green Bay, Paul Sager, recently died. He built understanding of the bay and shaped whole-ecosystem policies. Photo courtesy of UW-Green Bay.

A Great Lakes champion and respected researcher, Paul Sager, passed away in late August. Sager had 20 of his research projects funded by Sea Grant. He was instrumental in the early days of the program’s history in Green Bay and establishing a foundational understanding of the bay and its influence on Lake Michigan.

He served as a member of the Sea Grant Advisory Council, as well as the Sea Grant Green Bay Subcommittee Steering Committee.

Sager took emeritus status at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay in 2000. Prior to that, he taught 13 different courses and filled numerous administrative roles on the campus for 33 years.

Longtime Sea Grant Advisory Council Member Hallett J. “Bud” Harris said, “Professor Sager’s research has been instrumental in the identification and formation of policy initiatives that have led to improvements in the overall quality of the Green Bay ecosystem.”

Sager contributed the Fox River Remedial Action Plan and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources’s Total Maximum Daily Load plan.

He is survived by his wife, daughter, son, sister and five grandchildren.

Barker’s Island in the Duluth-Superior Harbor was the site of a free, bird-focused morning recently. People of all ages and ability levels attended an accessible birding outing led by experts from the Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory and the Friends of the Lake Superior Reserve.

The group met at the Lake Superior Estuarium on the island in Superior. They were welcomed by Luciana Ranelli, education coordinator for the Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve. She explained the three options for learning about birds. First was inside the Estuarium, where staff from the University of Wisconsin-Extension Upham Woods Learning Center had arranged bird artifacts and learning stations. Second was a spotting scope behind the Estuarium staffed by Pat Collins, a volunteer birding expert with the Friends of the Lake Superior Reserve. This was designed for birders with mobility issues or anyone who preferred a more stationary option. The third was a guided tour along the Barker’s Island boardwalk with Margie Menzies, educator director for the Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory in Duluth.

Superior resident and former city council member Mick MacKenzie recently had hip surgery, so the second station appealed to him. He said he came to the event because he’s “enjoying life. It’s good to be out in nature.”

After discussing the population health of kingfishers in the estuary with Collins, MacKenzie said, “When I was a kid, there was nothing down here on Barker’s Island. We’d come here to explore and play, so all this new development is really something to see: the whaleback and the hotel . . .”

MacKenzie was interrupted by Collins. “There’s a hummingbird right here!” Collins said.

MacKenzie expressed surprise that the birds were still around in September.

“They migrate through starting this time of year,” Collins said. “As long as there are flowers in bloom, they’ll stick around.”

Meanwhile, Menzies’ group got oriented to their binoculars and began their walk on the boardwalk. Sightings of the ubiquitous herring gulls around the island prompted Menzies to discuss a rare bird that steals gulls’ food: the parasitic jaeger. An annual Jaeger Birding Festival is held on nearby Wisconsin Point annually this time of year because it’s a prime time for spotting jaegers during their migration south from the arctic.

Her discussion was interrupted when two pigeons landed on the Estuarium roof. “When you look at birds, particularly from a distance, what do you notice about that bird that helps you think about what it is. What kinds of diagnostic clues can you look at on that bird?” Menzies asked.

Someone mentioned the pigeons’ orange feet.

“Yes, those red-orangey feet are a dead giveaway for pigeons. And a nice chunky body,” Menzies added.

The group moved farther along the boardwalk, following the shoreline of the island to the public beach, which is surrounded by native plants. Along the way, they spotted a turkey vulture, common mergansers, mallards, cormorants and warblers.

Kate McCall, a member of the board of directors for the Friends of the Lake Superior Reserve group, said she attended the event because, “This is the stuff I love.” She is interested in making the outdoors more accessible for people of differing abilities and attended an accessibility training session offered by the Reserve previously.

Just one of the things she learned was that cormorants don’t shed water off their backs as easily as other birds after they’ve been diving. “That’s why they’re so clumsy when they fly afterwards,” McCall said. “I always wondered about that. It’s fun to learn more, not just about the habitat of birds, but their patterns of flight, as well. I just really enjoyed it.”

This free event was made possible through the University of Wisconsin–Madison Dean’s Innovation Grant to collaborators from Upham Woods Outdoor Learning Center, the Reserve, Wisconsin Sea Grant, University of Wisconsin-Extension, and Bayfield and Ashland counties.
