Cities in southeastern Wisconsin manage beaches around lakes that have historically been used by both humans and birds like seagulls and geese. The droppings from these birds can contaminate the lake water with waste that is toxic to humans. Some citizens question whether cities are doing enough to prevent this type of contamination by addressing the presence of birds on and around the beaches.

The Stillaguamish Watershed Council combines ecosystem protection and restoration in the Stillaguamish watershed. It was formed in 1990 in response to declining water quality and salmon populations. The Council's mission is to maintain a healthy watershed through collaborative decision making between agencies, organizations, communities, and the public. Healthy salmon habitat requires features like pools, resting spots, and gravel, which are provided by engineered log jams that supplement loss of trees from historical logging until natural regrowth occurs.
Environmental Issues in Hawaii
This document discusses three major environmental issues in Hawaii: ocean plastic pollution, toxic waste pollution, and terrigenous sediment impacting coral reefs. It notes that plastic in the oceans has increased tremendously, with some areas containing more plastic than fish. Toxic waste has also been left behind at former military sites harming wildlife. Additionally, sediment from land is smothering and killing coral reefs, which serve as important ecosystems. The document provides details on the scale of these problems and their impacts on Hawaii's environment and marine life.
Lake Winnipeg
Lake Winnipeg is a shallow lake located in Manitoba, Canada composed of two basins. It is on average only 12 meters deep and receives 517 mm of precipitation annually. Lake Winnipeg provides habitat for over 50 fish species including yellow perch, chestnut lampreys, and rainbow smelt. Yellow perch prefer temperatures between 18 to 20 degrees Celsius and feed on invertebrates and fish like emerald shiners. Chestnut lampreys are parasitic fish that attach to other fish like yellow perch to feed on their blood and tissues. Recently introduced, rainbow smelt are an invasive species that have decreased the emerald shiner population.
Evan Brown Letter of Recommendation
The Boise River Beaver Control Project in the 1990s aimed to stabilize the beaver population along the Boise River to minimize impacts on riparian areas and conflicts with landowners, while also reestablishing beavers in unoccupied suitable habitats. The project live trapped beavers using clam shell traps rather than killing them. Trapped breeding pairs were sterilized and released, while juveniles and subadults were released or relocated. Volunteers protected trees from harvesting to allow beavers access to food sources without risking tree falls. The holistic approach established a sustainable solution through compromise.
World Water Day 2022
Our planet is 75% covered by water, but 97.5% of that water is saltwater. We only have 2.5% of freshwater to drink. Yet, on a daily basis, we use 10 billion tons of freshwater worldwide.
Water is without a doubt the most important resource we have. Our bodies consist of at least 60% of water. Humans also consume about two liters of water each day, through drinking and eating. We need water to grow food. It is safe to say that water is the most essential human need. It is critical for development, growth, and resilience.
Water Quality and Pollution
The document discusses various topics related to water contamination, treatment, and supply issues. It notes that water fluoridation removes 15-40% of tooth decay and that 1 million Americans get sick each year from microbial illnesses in drinking water. Large contributors to water pollution are listed as manufacturing, agriculture, and household waste. The document also addresses water shortages due to population growth, lack of access to safe drinking water for 1 billion people, and how only 0.007% of water is available for direct human use. Protecting the water supply through conservation methods like shorter showers and fixing leaks is also discussed.

Plastic pollution
Pollution is a word that we hear on a day-to-day basis, plastic is one of the most contributional impacts in today's pollution rates.
Britain alone contributes 1.7 million tons of plastic being produced annually. It is estimated that 1.15 to 2.41 million tonnes of plastic is entering the ocean each year from rivers.

Restoring the “Coral Reefs” of the Chesapeake
(See notes below) Four hundred years ago, the Chesapeake Bay that the English colonists found here was lined with huge oyster reefs that grew up from the bottom in waters both deep and shallow. Those reefs provided the base for much of the life in the Bay and its rivers, from worms and barnacles through mud crabs and tiny fish to big blue crabs and predators like sheepshead, drum, and rockfish (striped bass).
The oyster reefs weren’t as “pretty” (to us humans) as the coral reefs further south, but in terms of ecosystem richness, they were just as important. One key to their strength was their three-dimensional structure, which successive generations built gradually on the shells of their predecessors over several thousands of years. The structures placed the oysters up in the water column, away from gill-choking bottom sediments, where dissolved oxygen was plentiful and currents brought food in the form of algae cells seeking sunlight.
This PowerPoint presentation, developed by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s Fisheries Program Director Bill Goldsborough, tells the story of those reefs and what has happened to them over the past four hundred years. It is not a pretty story, but it offers a hopeful conclusion, as we learn more each year about how to restore these essential elements in the Chesapeake ecosystem.
Anglers have as much to gain as anyone in restoring the Chesapeake’s oysters. The presentation closes with suggestions for how to get involved in oyster restoration, and how to incorporate the restoration reefs into your 2015 angling season.

AIS Squash Lake
Eurasian milfoil has infected Squash Lake and is adversely impacting the aquatic ecosystem. It forms dense canopies that shade out native plants, provides poor habitat, and increases nutrients in the water column. Dense milfoil mats also alter water quality, provide breeding grounds for mosquitoes, and interfere with recreational activities. Local volunteers are needed to help protect Crescent Lake through the Clean Boats-Clean Waters program.

Increasing Demand For Water In China
China faces severe water shortages by 2030 due to increasing demand from a growing and urbanizing population, industrialization, agriculture, and other factors. Overuse of water resources has caused extensive pollution and ecosystem damage across China's major rivers. The government has implemented various measures to encourage water conservation and reallocation, but China remains vulnerable to water stress given its high water usage and regional imbalances in water availability.
sewage thingy
Large livestock farms produce waste equivalent to a small city which pollutes the environment. From 1995 to 1998, over 1,000 pollution incidents at livestock farms killed 13 million fish. Manure from dairy cows was thought to have contaminated a city's drinking water in 1993, killing over 100 people and making 400,000 sick. Large fish farms also discharge excrements and excess food into water, fertilizing biomass production and potentially affecting fish ability to adapt.

Does Edmonton Need a River Monitoring Program?
The document discusses the need for a river monitoring program on the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton. It notes that in 2017, four sites along the river were tested for E. coli levels, which showed differences in water quality. While testing was not conducted in 2018, recreational use of the river remains popular for activities like swimming and boating. The document recommends further water quality testing in 2019 to provide information to the public about swimmability and safety.
Red cedar watershed
The Red Cedar Watershed is located in the southeast region of the Clinton-Eaton-Ingham area in Michigan and covers 461 square miles. It originates in Livingston County and flows north and west for 40 miles before entering the Grand River in Ingham County. The document examines the current condition of the watershed, how it impacts the local community's public health, how the local communities impact the watershed, and potential solutions that could benefit both the watershed and local communities. Water quality testing has found the water to be contaminated with E. coli bacteria, which can cause diseases like diarrhea, anemia, and kidney failure in humans. Agricultural runoff, urban development, and buried pipes that drain
India's Water Crisis and Pollution
India faces a severe water crisis as 80% of its untreated sewage flows into rivers and lakes, polluting critical water sources. Over 600,000 children in India die each year from water-related illnesses like diarrhea, cholera, and malaria. The water pollution affects the country's entire ecosystem and poses serious risks to public health. Potential solutions include building more sewage treatment facilities, dams for water storage, and projects like Bill Gates' machine that converts human waste into clean drinking water.

This document discusses the importance and vulnerability of small stream networks in Ireland. Some key points:
- Small streams comprise over 77% of Ireland's river network but represent just 10% of EPA monitoring sites.
- They play an important role in biodiversity, water quality downstream, and as habitat for species like salmonids. However, they are also very vulnerable to pollution and other stressors due to their narrow channels and low dilution capacity.
- Several studies examined macroinvertebrate communities and water quality in small streams across Ireland, finding high biodiversity and vulnerability to pollution.
Impacts of Climate Change on Cambodia
The document discusses the impacts of climate change on Cambodia. It provides background information on Cambodia, noting that most of its population lives in rural areas and relies on agriculture, fishing, forestry and river resources for their livelihood. It then discusses how climate change is affecting Cambodia, with rising temperatures and more unpredictable rainfall patterns. Key impacts include threats to people's livelihoods from effects on rice farming, fisheries and natural resources they depend on.
The world is our oyster
This document discusses the history and importance of oysters in the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem. It is divided into four sections: 1) The history of oyster decline due to overharvesting, disease, and dredging, reducing the population to 1% of its original size. 2) The anatomy and environmental needs of oysters. 3) How oysters support the ecosystem by filtering water and providing habitat. 4) Efforts by various organizations to restore oyster populations through constructing artificial reefs, with benefits including jobs, supporting industry, and stabilizing shorelines, though challenges like funding and threats remain.

This document discusses the population decline of common loons in Michigan over the past century and ongoing conservation efforts. It outlines key aspects of loon life history, threats like habitat loss, disturbance, and mercury exposure, and population monitoring efforts that show some lake populations have stabilized due to habitat protection and education programs while others remain vulnerable. Long-term data on banded individual loons demonstrate high adult survival but dispersal of juveniles over multiple years before breeding.
Rain water
The document discusses rainwater harvesting systems that have been successfully implemented in remote bush villages in Vanuatu to provide daily water supplies. It notes that over 1 billion people lack access to basic water and several billion lack adequate sanitation. The systems constructed in Vanuatu villages use local materials and human power to collect and store rainwater and spring water at low cost and in a maintainable way. Photos show examples of 12-ton and 7-ton rainwater harvesting systems as well as spring water collection and ram pumps implemented in the villages.
