  1. 🗣 You have riparian rights on the beach. It's part of the Public Trust doctrine.

    You can walk along the shoreline below the high-water mark, anywhere on MI Great Lake's beaches.

  6. The name "#Ontario" comes from the Wendat (Huron) word Ontarí'io ("great lake")

    That name was there for centuries before the #US even existed. Before "America." Before any politician decided to rebrand a map.

  7. #A2A - Connecting lands and people across the #Algonquin to #Adirondacks region

    "For a resilient, ecologically connected #A2ARegion that sustains a full range of native #wildlife and enhances people’s quality of life for generations to come.

    The time to reconnect is now.

    Nature cannot survive on isolated islands. Between #AlgonquinPark and the Adirondacks, a crisis of fragmentation is unfolding.

    Roads, development, and borders have severed ancient migratory pathways, trapping wildlife in habitat pockets too small to sustain genetic diversity, find food, or adapt to a rapidly changing climate. When we isolate nature, we weaken the very systems that sustain us.

    The A2A region is a continental lifeline. As one of the last remaining large-scale, #IntactForest and #wetland linkages in #EasternNorthAmerica, this corridor represents our best opportunity to ensure wildlife can move north–south across the #GreatLakes#SaintLawrence system.

    Our mission is to heal and reconnect these landscapes. We must repair these broken links to restore the interconnected web of biodiversity that sustains the health of our region and the resilience of the entire continent."

  8. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🍄🪨 Researchers at the University of #Michigan pulled #water from gas wells deep under the #GreatLakes and found a dense #ecosystem.

    The water has remained #underground since the #IceAge more than 11,000 years ago. The isolated #environment contains hundreds of fungal species alongside tiny #worms and #tardigrades.

  9. Hype for the Future 209C: Lake Michigan Urban Corridor, Wisconsin

    Introduction The southeastern portion of the State of Wisconsin along the western side of Lake Michigan is home to notable communities in and around Milwaukee, including Waukesha, Port Washington, Grafton, Cedarburg, Kenosha, and Racine, just to name a few. Notable features of the area include proximity to Lake Michigan and high urban densities relative to the smaller urbanized areas and urban clusters throughout the State. While the Grafton, Port Washington, and Cedarburg areas are to the […]

  10. Hype for the Future 208MIC: Manitowoc and Ludington

    Introduction Within the Great Lakes region, the Cities of Manitowoc and Ludington are notable Lake Michigan cities connected via a seasonal ferry carrying the Route 10 corridor with the City of Manitowoc in the State of Wisconsin to the west and the City of Ludington in the State of Michigan to the east. While Manitowoc serves as the Manitowoc County seat, Ludington serves as the Mason County seat on the opposite side of Lake Michigan. Apart from Route 10, the City of Manitowoc is also a […]

  11. Spin the #ClimateChangeWeatherWheel and see where it lands!

    US weather to go nuts with blizzard, polar vortex, heat dome, atmospheric river all at once

    "Nearly every part of the United States is getting walloped by wild weather or just about to be.

    "Days of downpours have begun in #Hawaii. The #Southwest will soon bake with day after day of record 100-degree-plus (38 Celsius-plus) #heat. Two storms will dump snow by the foot over northern #GreatLakes states. And the dreaded #PolarVortex will again invade the Midwest and East with soul-crushing #ArcticChill.

    "This forecast of extremes comes as weather whiplash already hit much of the East. On Wednesday, Washington, D.C. residents walked around in shorts in record-breaking 86 degrees Fahrenheit (about 30 Celsius). On Thursday, it snowed.

    " 'All of the country, even if you’re not necessarily seeing extremes, are going to see generally changing from cold to warm, or warm to cold to warm,' said meteorologist Marc Chenard of the weather service’s Weather Prediction Center in Maryland.

    "Former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief scientist Ryan Maue said he expects extreme weather in all 50 states."

  12. Hype for the Future 87L: The Province of Ontario Compared to Ohio

    Preamble Though the State of Ohio is located in the United States 🇺🇸 and the Province of Ontario is included within Canada 🇨🇦, both subnational divisions are of significant importance in either nation. Culturally, Ohio and Ontario in particular may effectively have the greatest similarities in any comparison of the United States and Canada, even though the State of Ohio also extends further south as part of the United States. Culture Both the Ohio Country and Upper Canada were […]

  13. States Are Eyeing Bird-Friendly #Wetlands to Help Rid the #GreatLakes of #ToxicAlgae

    "The #OneidaNation has restored wetlands that help to improve water quality in Wisconsin’s Green Bay while creating valuable habitat that attracts many birds."

    Words by Andy McGlashen
    Senior Editor, Audubon Magazine
    Published June 17, 2024

    "In the ongoing effort to bring the problem under control, the region’s leaders are increasingly reaching for a primitive but proven tool for capturing and cleaning water before it enters the lake: wetlands. No one believes that #swamps and marshes alone can starve the algae blooms, but experts say they are an important part of the solution. 'Wetlands are wonderful filtration systems,' says Richard Stumpf, an oceanographer with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric administration who monitors #algae outbreaks. And because wetlands around the Great Lakes offer vital habitat where birds can rest during migration or raise their young, restoring them not only improves water quality but also brightens the outlook for vulnerable avian species.

    “'There’s momentum building behind #NatureBasedSolutions,' says Kyle Rorah, regional director of public policy for Ducks Unlimited. 'There’s a huge opportunity to get serious about taking a chunk out of the problem.'"
