SUMMARY:Harmful Algae Blooms and Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Join Itasca Waters and Minnesota Sea Grant in learning about how climate change plays a role in harmful algae blooms (HABs) as part of the Itasca Water Wisdom online webinar series\, co-sponsored by MNSG. \nCyanobacteria\, also known as blue-green algae\, present a complex management challenge in lakes because they can rapidly form dense surface scums\, or blooms\, that are difficult to predict. Under the right conditions and with the right types of cyanobacteria\, cyanobacteria blooms can become harmful when certain cyanobacteria strains produce potent toxins that make people sick and can kill pets and wildlife. Worldwide\, cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms (cHABs) are anticipated to become more prevalent\, more frequent\, and more severe under future climate and land use scenarios. While cHABs have long been known to occur in warm water\, nutrient-rich lakes\, such as those in southern Minnesota\, their expansion into colder\, low-nutrient lakes of northern Minnesota\, including recent occurrences of cyanobacteria blooms in nearshore Lake Superior\, signifies that cyanobacteria are already responding to global change. \nIn this talk\, Christopher Filstrup\, Ph.D.\, will discuss how cyanobacteria are well adapted to future climate conditions\, what factors may be contributing to their expansion into lakes where they were previously rare\, and what potential strategies we can use to mitigate severe cHABs. \nThis webinar is free and open to the public\, but advance registration is required. \nSpeaker \n\nChristopher Filstrup\, Ph.D.\, University of Minnesota Duluth Natural Resources Research Institute\, Applied Limnologist & Director of Central Analytical Lab

DESCRIPTION:Starting July 29th\, we will be installing 56 log structures on the Phase 4 section of Paint Creek and 27 additional structures on Phase 3.  Volunteers should bring gloves and waders (optional\, can wet-wade). \nEach day we will be meeting at the Paint Creek Trail parking lot on Tienken Rd at 9:30am. \nAddress:  1075 Paint Creek Ln\, Rochester Hills\, MI 48306 \n\n\n\nDaily work involves:\n\nTowing a canoe with tools (small generator\, sledge hammers\, saws\, steel rods\, etc.)\nDrilling holes through the logs for the steel rods\nHold logs in place while steel spikes are driven into the creek bed to hold them in place\nPull 10 – 20 foot logs from the woods\nPound 4 foot steel rods with a sledge hammer\nCollect in-stream rocks to place along / behind the logs once they are anchored\nLast time we let the volunteers decide where and how to place the final logs in the creek.\n\n\n\nFor convenience\, we have divided the work days up into two 4-hour time slots for each day.  You may register for as many or as few as you wish.  This would be an ideal opportunity to use any employer-provided volunteer PTO days – or for any students*\, a great way to log volunteer hours! \n*Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age and be able to wade safely and move heavy objects (rocks\, logs\, equipment) to participate. \nThank you for supporting our effort to restore and preserve Paint Creek\, and we hope to see you there! \n\n\nRegister HERE.

SUMMARY:The Fish Thief: A Great Lakes Mystery
DESCRIPTION:FREE EVENT!  GREAT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!\n6:30 pm:  Come early to see and touch live sea lamprey before the movie!!!\nPick up brochures and fun goodies about lamprey and their control.  (Courtesy of Hammond Bay Biological Station)\n7:00 pm:  The Fish Thief movie\, followed by questions and answers with researchers from Hammond Bay Biological Station. \nFilm is 90 minutes long. \nSponsored by the Great Lakes Fishery Commission\, the Black Lake Association\, and Friends of the Onaway Library. Don’t miss The Fish Thief: A Great Lakes Mystery\, a gripping documentary about the destructive effect of the invasive sea lamprey that nearly destroyed the Great Lakes fishery. \nCome early to see the live sea lamprey\, watch the movie\, and stay to have all your questions about these invasive predators answered. \n\n\n\nThe Fish Thief\, produced by SkyhoundMedia and the Great Lakes Fishery Commission\, and narrated by Oscar winning actor J.K. Simmons\, tells the dramatic story of the sea lampreys’ invasion in the 20th century and the ongoing efforts to control and repair the damage done. These predators created an environmental crisis that almost completely wiped out lake trout\, whitefish\, and other key fish populations. The heavy destruction to the fishery destroyed jobs and businesses. It threatened local industries\, small town economies\, and indigenous populations in the United States and Canada. Natural resources and recreational fishing were permanently jeopardized. \n\n\n\nThe riveting story of the extraordinary cooperative efforts of international scientists\, policy makers\, and conservationists to save the Great Lakes is at the heart of the film. The fight to control the sea lamprey population and to repair\, restore\, and manage critical natural resources still requires massive ongoing effort. For those reasons alone\, you’ll want to see it. \n\n\n\nLocally\, The Fish Thief holds great personal interest because it takes place here. Places that you know well\, such as the Ocqueoc River and Falls\, Bells Fishery in Cheboygan\, and the historical Hammond Bay Biological Station\, for example\, are featured. People that you remember appear in images from the past. \nThe Fish Thief is 90 minutes long and will be followed by a brief question and answer session with Roger Bergstedt\, a retired research fishery biologist specializing in lamprey research for 25 years at the Hammond Bay Biological Station\, and Scott Miehls\, a current Hammond Bay biologist with a contemporary perspective of cutting-edge sea lamprey control methods. \nTo watch the trailer and for more information about the film\, see www.thefishthief.com

SUMMARY:Friends of the Shiawassee River Annual River Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:This week long volunteer event spans more than 60 miles of the Shiawassee River. Coordinating with public and private partners\, the Friends of the Shiawassee River brings volunteers from across the watershed together with one purpose\, to clean up the Shiawassee River. Historically items such as tires\, refuse\, metal \, and more are removed and deposited into one of two dumpsters provided by Waste Management for the event. There is one event dumpster located in Owosso\, MI and another in Chesaning\, MI.  \nThe event supports its volunteers with trash bags\, gloves-donated by Gloves-For-Good\, buckets\, and trash pickers as well as provides a cleanup t-shirt to those registered with the event. Volunteers can select their own section of the river (behind their home or park) or we can assign one to them. This ensures the greatest impact across the watershed.  If you would like to join us in 2025\, registration for the event will open in early June.  If you are unable to volunteer but would still like to contribute to our mission to Care\, Share\, and Enjoy the Shiawassee River click here to donate.  \nWe also partner with the Shiawassee Health Department to provide a Tire Collection\, open to the public\, in which you can drop off your tires to be recycled at a discounted rate. All tires pulled from the river will be recycled for free and we will give you information on how to do that after you have registered.

SUMMARY:Michigan’s Unconventional Response to Hydrilla
DESCRIPTION:Michigan’s Unconventional Response to Hydrilla\nHydrilla is known as one of the most difficult aquatic invasive plants to control.

Project lead Billy Keiper of EGLE’s Water Resources Division will walk through the response effort from detection to the recent excavation of two private ponds. Learn why and how this extraordinary effort was undertaken and the deliberation\, planning and cooperation that made it possible. \nRegister HERE.
