Issues & Ale: Fish & the Changing Great Lakes

The Great Lakes are changing. Warming air and water, shorter winters with less snow and ice and more extreme weather are impacting the lakes and the fish that live there. This could make it harder for native cold water fish to survive, and give invasive species an edge. In addition, harmful algal blooms are creating dead zones that are bad news for fish, and impact recreational users as well.
Join Rebecca Williams from Michigan Radio's Environment Reportfor an Issues & Ale discussion about climate change, fish and the Great Lakes.
Stop by, have a drink, and join in the discussion. Free Admission!
Panelists will include:
