SUMMARY:PFAS in Water: How did they get there and why are they so challenging to address? – October 3
DESCRIPTION:The October session of Itasca Waters’ Water Wisdom focuses on “PFAS in Water: How did they get there and why are they so challenging to address?” The webinar is from noon – 1 CT on October 3. \nPFAS\, often referred to as “forever chemicals\,” are unlike any other harmful environmental contaminants that we have faced before. Once they enter the environment they don’t fully degrade\, and they spread quickly through water and air. This has allowed them to contaminate pristine waters in remote regions\, including the middle of Lake Superior. And to add to the challenge\, PFAS are more than just PFOS and PFOA – there are thousands of PFAS\, including “precursors” that can transform into PFOS or PFOA once they enter the environment. \nThis presentation will highlight recent work evaluating PFAS in Lake Superior\, challenges and emerging solutions for PFAS monitoring and treatment\, and a perspective on what people and agencies can do to help address the problem. \nThe webinar is free\, but registration is required. Click here for further information and registration.

SUMMARY:Learning from the past to manage inland lake fisheries for the future – October 8
DESCRIPTION:This free webinar is on October 8 at 1pm CT. It is put on by the Midwest Glacial Lakes Partnership (MGLP). Registration is required. \nThe seminar will highlight research that has used data from a collaborative project digitizing over a century of historical lake survey records from the Michigan DNR Institute for Fisheries Research. We are using these records to examine changes in fish growth and abundance\, and the timing of mass mortality events. The presenter will show examples that empirically test several predicted impacts of climate change across Michigan lakes. \nThe list of upcoming lake conservation webinars and all previous MGLP webinar recordings are available online.

SUMMARY:Inland lake shoreline assessment and best management practices in Michigan – October 15
DESCRIPTION:This free webinar is on October 15 at 1pm CT. It is put on by the Midwest Glacial Lakes Partnership (MGLP). Registration is required. \nThis presentation will review the Inland Lake Shoreline Energy Assessment Tool. The goal of this new tool is to educate the user on important inland lake shoreline characteristics and to provide a standardized approach for Michigan users to evaluate the erosive potential of an inland lake shoreline. Assessing an inland lake shoreline is important for selecting an appropriate shoreline protection design that minimizes impacts to inland lake resources. Some example best practices for shoreline protection will be highlighted. Although the webinar is focused on Michigan\, it is just as applicable in Minnesota. \nThe list of upcoming lake conservation webinars and all previous MGLP webinar recordings are available online.

SUMMARY:Basics of Shoreline Erosion Control - New Documents to help in design and management - October 29
DESCRIPTION:This free webinar is on October 29 at 1pm CT. It is put on by the Midwest Glacial Lakes Partnership (MGLP). Registration is required. \nBioengineering can offer a nature-based solution on lake shorelines for controlling erosion\, adding beauty\, and providing habitat for fishes\, birds\, and other fauna. However\, reference materials for professionals conducting lakeshore bioengineering projects and for homeowners seeking to have them installed are lacking. This presentation will introduce two new MGLP-produced reference documents for professionals and homeowners that help build the foundation for understanding what is happening at the shoreline and provide some basic design tips for dealing with erosion across a range of environmental conditions. \nThe list of upcoming lake conservation webinars and all previous MGLP webinar recordings are available online.
