The last time some of these maps were updated was back in the late 1980s and early 1990s. View the full story by NPR News.

2020 in Review: Climate change, COVID-19 and Michigan’s governor

This is part of a series in which the Great Lakes Now staff looks back on 2020.

When I look back at my 2020 Great Lakes Now reporting, three themes jump off the page – Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, COVID-19 and climate change.

In her 2018 election campaign Whitmer articulated an extensive water and environment agenda and 2020 was the year she started to make progress on it.

In: Deidre Peroff, manoomin, wild rice education and outreach toolkit for lake superior audiences

As 2020 winds down, we asked staff members at Wisconsin Sea Grant what their favorite project was this year. Although work was a bit more challenging than usual due to our altered work circumstances, everyone managed to stay productive, and even find fulfillment.

In our last post in this series, Social Science Outreach Specialist Deidre Peroff describes her favorite project of 2020, which is the Wild Rice (Manoomin) Education and Outreach Toolkit for Lake Superior Audiences project. Funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the project is in its final stages.

“The goal is to raise awareness about Manoomin, its cultural and regional significance, its ecological function and importance, and to share information about the current threats to wild rice that may impact its resilience and future,” said Peroff. “Along with two Ph.D. students from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Jimmy Camacho and Sarah Dance), we also worked closely with indigenous and nonindigenous partners in the region to develop educational resources to share with broad audiences to raise awareness of Manoomin and to support parallel efforts to protect and restore it for future generations.”

Part of one of the graphics developed for the project is below. We can’t wait to see the finalized versions!

Thank you for reading this series. We wish you the best in 2021.

2020 Really Sucked. What’s Up Next? I don’t know.

This is part of a series in which the Great Lakes Now staff looks back on 2020.

A frequent theme of my GLN articles – and others’ – this year was the Crazy-19 virus. For me, its appearance in print ranged from news about charter captains not fishing and non-resident fishing and hunting license sales suspended to parks, monuments, Lake Erie businesses shut down and events cancelled, including The Biggest Week in American Birding.

In our second-to-last post in this series, Tim Campbell, our aquatic invasive species outreach specialist, chose a project that hugged the timeline border between 2019 and 2020. His two-minute Eat Wisconsin Fish video was produced in 2019 but posted in 2020. Helping Campbell put it together were Titus Seilheimer with Wisconsin Sea Grant and Bret Shaw with University of Wisconsin-Madison Extension and the Life Sciences Communication Department.

Campbell said, “It was fun to get to pretend I was some sort of cooking personality for the day, and it was nice to step outside of my aquatic invasive species world. If I weren’t helping people clean off their boats or finding new homes for their pets, helping them eat more Wisconsin fish would definitely be an enjoyable way to spend my time!”

Campbell also chose a runner-up favorite project. This one hugs the timeline border, too – although it’s the 2020-2021 border. He finished a year-long process of getting a paper on the potential invasion pathway of Buddhist life release accepted in the Management of Biological Invasions.

“We submitted the paper in February, revised and resubmitted in August, and found out at the beginning of December that it was accepted. I’m looking forward to being able to share that in 2021,” Campbell said.

Beaster and Schwarting have spent the past five years monitoring the health of local wetlands along Lake Superior, including those in the St. Louis River Estuary. Their talk will describe the function of coastal wetlands and how they change over time. They will focus on vegetation, covering the more common plant communities and some of their unique species as well as how wetlands have adapted to the short-term and long-term flux of water levels in the Great Lakes.

Here is the Zoom link and info:

Meeting ID: 914 4615 7971

Passcode: 163792

The talk will last an hour and will include time for Q&A. The talks will be recorded and posted afterward on the Reserve’s Facebook page. A summary will also be posted on Wisconsin Sea Grant’s blog.

Other River Talks will be held on Feb. 10, March 3, April 14 and May 12. The March talk will be held in conjunction with the St. Louis River Summit. For more information, visit the River Talks page: go.wisc.edu/4uz720.
