SUMMARY:Understanding Red Swamp Crayfish Spread in Southeastern Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Invasive red swamp crayfish are found in small ponds and drainages in southeastern Michigan\, in areas with a high potential for spread to nearby bodies of water. Dr. Jared Homola of the USGS Wisconsin Cooperative Fishery Research Unit will discuss a project in collaboration with Michigan State University and the Michigan DNR using cutting-edge genetic tools to identify the biological and environmental factors that could lead to the crayfish’s spread. Understanding these factors is helping inform development of strategies to assess the risks posed by red swamp crayfish and ultimately control or eradicate them in Michigan. \nAfter registering\, you will receive an email from “EGLE Outreach” with a link for you to use to join the webinar. \nRegister for this free webinar HERE.

SUMMARY:Empowering Students to Take Action on Invasive Species
DESCRIPTION:If you’re looking for a successful model for infusing invasive species education in the classroom\, Lake Superior State University’s Beth Christiansen has one. “Invading Classrooms: Empowering Students to Take Action on Invasive Species” brings together students\, teachers\, natural resource mentors\, and staff from LSSU’s Center for Freshwater Research and Education to conduct hands-on research into local invasive species issues. Join Christiansen to learn how this collaboration has fostered local\, student-led stewardship projects to raise awareness and inspire action in communities across Northern Michigan. \nTo register\, visit https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_QtlLJOibT4OM1aQbBfeU6Q#/registration.

SUMMARY:EGLE Webinar- Containing the First Hydrilla Infestation in Michigan
DESCRIPTION:The mythic Hydra was a water serpent that sprouted two heads for every one cut off. In a similar fashion\, hydrilla – said to be the most invasive aquatic plant in the world – can grow new plants from stem fragments\, making it a formidable challenge to control. That challenge now faces Michigan\, where hydrilla was recently detected for the first time. Join Billy Keiper from EGLE Water Resources Division to find out why hydrilla is such a threat\, how the Michigan Invasive Species Program is working to eradicate it\, and what you can do to help identify and report it. \nREGISTER HERE.

SUMMARY:EGLE presents educational webinar series on Lake Erie algal blooms
DESCRIPTION:Because knowledge is power\, EGLE will present an educational webinar series\, “Taking Action on Lake Erie\,” to take an inside look at ways the state and partners are working together to enhance stewardship of the land and improve water quality in Michigan’s portion of the Western Lake Erie Basin. \nThe series begins with a session 11 a.m.-noon Wednesday\, Oct. 5\, highlighting agriculture inventory planning and implementation in the Western Lake Erie Basin led by EGLE’s Nonpoint Source Program and implemented by local conservation districts. \nThe agricultural inventory process utilizes modeling\, desktop analysis\, and a field inventory to collect site-specific data to locate and prioritize agricultural sites that have the potential to impact water quality. The goal is to implement agricultural best management practices on sites with the greatest potential to reduce phosphorus loading and improve water quality. This is an opportunity for the public\, agency partners\, and anyone who wants to know what Michigan is doing to reduce nutrient loading to Lake Erie. \nInformation and registration are available on the event website. Questions about the webinar may be directed to Michelle Selzer\, Lake Erie coordinator in EGLE’s Water Resources Division\, at SelzerM@Michigan.gov. Questions about registration may be directed to training and outreach coordinators Alana Berthold\, BertholdA@Michigan.gov\, or Joel Roseberry\, RoseberryJ@Michigan.gov.

SUMMARY:Great Lakes and Freshwater Week
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, Michigan proclaims this week as an opportunity to raise awareness of the Great Lakes and Michigan’s inland lakes\, rivers\, streams and groundwater. It’s a time to trumpet the importance of these water bodies and their immeasurable value to quality of life throughout the state. Michigan is known around the world for this unique resource\, which people can help preserve in the face of climate change and other challenges. \nBy raising awareness\, we will inspire people to protect and be champions of the Great Lakes and fresh water. Our call to action is for residents around the state to enjoy\, appreciate\, and safeguard this vital resource for current and future generations. \nWill you paddle along a water trail or join an Adopt-a-Beach team for a local cleanup? Maybe you can collect plastics as you stroll along the shore\, or clear litter from storm catch basins in your neighborhood. What will you do to be a Great Lakes Champion? \nWhat will you do to be a Great Lakes Champion? Share your photos\, actions\, and stories on social media with #MiGreatLakesWeek.
