"We all live around (the great lakes) and we all benefit from the great lakes so it's a huge resource to us in a number of ways," said associate professor and curator of natural history Kirsten Nicholson. "It serves as a source of food and drinking water. It's an important ecosystem because it cleans the toxicants from the water and basically keeps everything in the ecosystem in and around the lakes going."
This event is sponsored by The College of Social and Behavioral Sciences and The College of Science and Technology.
