Ininwewi Gichigami The big western lobe of the Great Lake Michigan-Huron. Pretty and Old ๐๐
Vote tomorrow Humans of Michigan! Clean water is life. Vote for it. ๐๐
My average depth is 46 fathoms plus 3 feet ๐๐
Cheers to all you Michigan voters that plan on supporting candidates that will protect the Great Lakes on August 4 ๐๐
This one goes out to all the humans in the watershed whose homes and businesses were damaged by storms today ๐๐
Pelicans scoop up fish in their throat pouches and swallow them whole. What happens when the fish is too big? ๐๐
Goodnight Humans More important than ever to be kind to all (and vote) ๐๐
According to my science friends at UWM School of Freshwater Sciences, if the worldโs population jumped in me ALL AT ONCE and submerged, my level would only rise 1/3 of an inch. ๐๐ (including these ducks)
Hey Michigan humans! August 4 is your primary election. It is 14 days until election so register in person. Vote for candidates that protect nature and public lands ๐๐ Be a ray of hope to the natural world
Rockinโ and a rollinโ this afternoon ๐๐๐
Wildfire smoke from Minnesota and Canada this morning ๐๐๐ฅ
Take notice humans! Public lands are your lands and these roll backs remove protections and will damage these sacred spaces. Fight this battle as I fear it is coming for all public lands and waters ๐๐
Today, surrounded by Utah politicians, President Trump signed two proclamations shrinking the collective size of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante by over 2,925,000 acres. It's the biggest rollback of public-land protections in U.S. history. #antiquitiesact #protectpubliclands #publiclands
In case you donโt know, seagulls like to poop on my buoys. Gonna be a hot one in the watershed today, humans ๐ฅต๐๐

Lovely sky up topside last night between storms and after a little earthquake ๐๐
Humans. Todayโs 250th celebration is a day to pause and reflect on how to make a more perfect union. There is much work to be done. Liberty and justice for ALL the people. ๐๐๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ

I hang on to my water molecules for an average of 99 years. Lake Superior is 191 years. Translation for humans = donโt put stuff in the Great Lakes (your freshwater supply) Clean water is life ๐๐
Water rushing to the Great Lakes in Canada (a portion will make it to me ๐๐). Respect. Happy Canada Day to all ๐จ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ
Busy boating week up topside. Please humans be safe. Always wear a life jacket. Keep an eye on the weather. Know the rules of navigation. Donโt operate under the influence. Boater safety courses are way cool as are fire extinguishers & throwable floatation devices. ๐๐
You donโt have to forget me. Spider Lake is in the watershed ๐๐๐ www.islands.com/2199858/forg...

The Great Lakes are big, but we are vulnerable to pollution partly because only about 1% of the water is renewed each year by rain & snow, surface runoff, and groundwater recharge. 1% of 6 quadrillion gallons of freshwater. Work harder to protect us,humans ๐๐
