SUMMARY:Chemical Contaminants in Lake Superior - October 7
DESCRIPTION:Photo: MN Sea Grant \nWebinar attendees will learn the status and trends of toxic chemicals in Lake Superior and how Canada and the U.S. use key indicators to help assess the lake’s health. The webinar will also explore how PFAS\, or “forever chemicals\,” are transported through the atmosphere and deposited into the water. Also\, learn how herring gull eggs have contributed to the understanding of chemical pollutants in the Lake Superior ecosystem. \nThis webinar is part of the Let’s Talk Lake Superior! webinar series hosted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency\, Environment and Climate Change Canada and the Canada Water Agency. \nThis webinar is on October 7\, 2025\, at 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. CT. It is available at no cost and is recommended for anyone passionate about the Great Lakes. Registration is required. \nClick here for more information

SUMMARY:Harmful Algal Bloom Research in Northeast Minnesota - October 14
DESCRIPTION:Harmful algal blooms are becoming more common across northeastern Minnesota\, showing up in waters from remote inland lakes to the vast expanse of Lake Superior. Some produce toxins that can be dangerous to people\, pets\, and wildlife. Researchers across the region are working to understand better where and why HABs occur and what that might mean for Minnesota waters and communities. Topics include: HABs in northern lakes\, HABs in Lake Superior\, and Community science for clean water. \nThis webinar is part of the Twin Ports Climate Conversation series hosted by Minnesota Sea Grant. \nThis webinar is on October 14\, 2025\, at 12:00 – 1:00 pm CT. It is available at no cost. Registration is required. \nClick here for more information

SUMMARY:Smart maps\, stronger conservation: Targeting land protection with GIS - October 25
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Northern Waters Land Trust will be presenting on their project\, which developed an interactive GIS mapping tool to identify and prioritize land protection projects within the watersheds of Lakes of Outstanding Biological Significance (LOBS). Each parcel within these sensitive watersheds was systematically scored to determine conservation priority. \nThis webinar is part of the Midwest Glacial Lakes Partnership Lake Conservation webinar series. Paul Radomski\, Mitch Brinks\, Annie Knight and Ally Mazurek will be presenting. \nThis webinar is on October 21\, 2025\, at 1 pm CT. It is available at no cost. Registration is required.
