There s a way to end Lake Erie s environmental destruction Is there a will?

There s a way to end Lake Erie s environmental destruction. Is there a will? A reoccurring environmental nightmare in Lake Erie can be fixed, but governments need the will to do it, says a Canadian Great Lakes researcher. Author of the article: Heather Rivers Publishing date: Jul 05, 2021  •  10 hours ago  •  4 minute read  •  Grant Weaver, skipper of the Port Stanley fishing tug G&A Weaver, says Lake Erie algae blooms have an impact on his business. We call it slime and it ends up getting into our nets and slows the fish down,” he said. “It has its ups and downs. Some years are worse; some not much at all. It all depends on how hot it’s been; how shallow the water is. (Mike Hensen/The London Free Press)

The EPA must follow Canada s lead and issue new rules for ballast water to protect the Great Lakes

The EPA must follow Canada s lead and issue new rules for ballast water to protect the Great Lakes Molly M. Flanagan, opinion contributor © The Hill The EPA must follow Canada s lead and issue new rules for ballast water to protect the Great Lakes Last week Canada issued new rules requiring all vessels stopping at Canadian ports to have ballast water treatment systems in place by 2030. While this may seem like a niche issue, reports have shown us that ships contribute to the introduction and spread of destructive aquatic invasive species through the discharge of ballast water. Once species such as zebra and quagga mussels set up camp, they devastate the natural food chain and can lead to dangerous algae growth, which causes substantial environmental and economic harm to the Great Lakes and waters all across the country.

(U.S. Geological Survey graphic) LANSING Fresh water is the aquatic version of treasure. It’s valuable and people really, really want it. Access to oodles of fresh water is normal for those who live in or near the Great Lakes Basin. Its residents are close to Earth’s largest freshwater ecosystem, which formed when massive glaciers carved out lake beds, then melted. Below the surface lie groundwater reservoirs, which link the entire watershed. But now, as North America grapples with climate change and a rising population to feed, the agricultural industry’s interest in tapping into the region’s freshwater supply is growing.
