So proud of our Great Lakes fellows with the @ijcs-journal.bsky.social and @glcommission.bsky.social and the GL Sea Grants hearing about their listening sessions with communities and Tribes around the region, hearing about needs for the IJC Science Plan. #IAGLR2025

We found a stack of our popular Great Lakes Basin posters hiding at the back of the shelf! They're on sale now for only $4 with limited stock, so grab yours from our online store before they're gone again: buff.ly/RRNDQlS

"Surveys of people living in the Great Lakes Basin have shown that 90% consider the health of the Great Lakes a priority, regardless of political views." Make sure you catch the rest of IAGLR Executive Director Jérôme Marty's interview with @e4dca.bsky.social here: bit.ly/4hWNhJm

Do you work on lakes globally? Check out what is, to my mind, the most complete global database of lakes (~6M) and associated attributes, newly published in WRR. Also the basis for SWOT lake data. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Chilling report from Brown University. Administration advises all foreign students, staff, and faculty to postpone or reconsider (ie cancel) international travel, due to federal government's crackdown on universities. Brown also warns against *domestic travel* -since it's unclear what ICE will do.

Since this is probably about to be relevant: a reminder that when you poll the general public, they estimate NASA to be between 10-30% of the federal budget. It's less than 1%. All that amazing science and technology and wonder is got for less than a penny on the dollar of your taxes.

Across the U.S., Sea Grant supports coastal, marine & Great Lakes communities through research, extension & education. It touches our lives in so many ways. 20 years ago, I arrived in DC to work on #science policy as a marine biologist & Knauss Fellow through the Maine Sea Grant under NOAA. /1

Coastal economies rely on NOAA, from Maine to Florida, Texas and Alaska – even if they don’t realize it

NOAA’s work has kept fisheries from collapsing, helped coastal ecosystems survive extreme heat and battled invasive species, among many other tasks essential to coastal economies.

theconversation.com

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies. There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

How many times do you look at the temperature on your phone? Most of those temperatures are from weather stations NOAA/NWS helps maintain…or they are a model interpolation from a model NOAA/NWS helped develop. The radar data, satellite data, every single watch and warning…that’s NOAA/NWS.

NOAA's #GreatLakes Environmental Research Lab will be taking an "indefinite hiatus" from communications due to staff cuts. GLERL communicates critical weekly updates about the extent of harmful algal blooms in Lake Erie - like the one that left my hometown of Toledo without drinking water in 2014

Felt great to get out in the field for #winter #limnology #GreatLakes-wide sampling on Lake St. Clair yesterday with @nicolewagner.bsky.social as part of a @miseagrant.bsky.social funded project led by @tjvmajors.bsky.social. Just happened to be an all-women team. #womeninSTEM

These students rock! A great day sampling for @miseagrant.bsky.social funded Great Lakes Winter Grab on Lake Superior. MI Sea Grant work is critical to the health and understanding of our largest source of freshwater, and we are proud to do the science they support!

If your pond or lake turns green in the summer, this webinar is for you!

NOAA is in the Trump administration's crosshairs. You know the important work they do, but may now know that It's the descendant of the Coast Survey, the nation's first scientific agency, founded in 1807 under Jefferson. I spoke with maritime historians to put NOAA's legacy in context. 🧪🦑🌎🐟
