Bird deaths fuel push for Minnesota lead tackle ban Fishing tackle killing popular waterfowl February 5, 2021 8:21pm Text size Copy shortlink:
The open water channels around Sucker Lake in northern Ramsey County make it a popular winter spot for dozens of majestic trumpeter swans and other waterfowl.
It s also a popular public drive-up fishing spot, which is proving a fatal combination as birds consume lost lead fishing tackle.
Scientists including one who has recovered 17 dead swans near Sucker and Vadnais lakes in Vadnais Heights are joining Minnesota lawmakers in a call to ban lead in fishing tackle to protect swans, loons, eagles and other wildlife. Though similar efforts have stalled over the years amid opposition from anglers and hunters, advocates say they re hopeful this time will be different.

Emerging Markets May Poised for Growth Money.com 1/13/2021 © Kiersten Essenpreis for Money Emerging-markets-bounce-back-up
Emerging markets stocks have lagged those in U.S. for years. Now with the dollar weakening and developing economies set to enjoy post-Covid 19 growth, some financial advisers are turning bullish on this volatile sector.
When people think about emerging markets, China often comes to mind, but funds that invest in emerging markets often cast a larger net to include countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and India, among others.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index, a widely-used benchmark, captures large and mid-cap stocks across 27 emerging markets countries. This index, which had only four positive years of annual performance since 2013, gained 18.4% in 2019 and 18.3% in 2020, after the year got off to a rocky start, largely due to the pandemic.
