Great Lakes ice coverage down 71% in past 40 years
A lack of winter ice is increasing evaporation which can harm our economy by affecting shipping and can also pose big problems for species like whitefish that rely on ice cover for spawning. A new study has found that Great Lakes ice coverage has decreased by 71% in the past 40 years.

Michigan Walleye & Walleye Season
Walleye season opens today in Michigan (May 15 - March 15), so here's a little bit about this tasty sport fish. The Michigan DNR page on walleye (Sander vitreus) says that walleye are the largest member of the perch family. Read on for more including the best walleye fishing lakes in Michigan, a video and a walleye recipe!

Building reefs for sturgeon in the St. Clair River
Michigan organizations and agencies are building nine rock reefs in the Middle Channel of the St. Clair River to bolster native fish spawning and restore habitat. The Middle Channel of the river connecting Lake Huron to Lake St. Clair supports one of the largest remaining populations of sturgeon in the Great Lakes.
