Fantastic Review of Current Environmental Issues in the Great Lakes submitted by chknight on June 28, 2019, 2:29pm As someone who actually works in Great Lakes research, I found this book to be accurate and well-written. Even if you don't work in the field, the author discusses the various issues (e.g. invasive mussels, harmful algal blooms, asian carp) in a way that is riveting and easily understood. I can't recommend this enough for anyone trying to learn a little more about all the issues in the Great Lakes.

great submitted by kevinhe on July 26, 2019, 1:46pm a great book on environment issues of great lakes.

Not what I was expecting submitted by Xris on February 9, 2020, 3:25pm I thought this would be more about the freshwater and how we're poisoning it. Educational to find out about the invasive species and science behind controlling it, and the reason they're here, but just wasn't what I thought it was going to be about.
