Let's talk #zooplankton nets. Why, on a large ship, do we use a net with very small diameter (0.4 m), but it is long (2 m)? Efficiency! These nets filter better, while not collecting *too much. #Eutrophic systems like #LakeErie clog nets with algae, so less volume is better. We target sizes using different Nitex meshes, most often 63 or 153 μm in the #GreatLakes. To measure volume, we use a flow meter mounted just off-center in the net mouth (know why?). #Science

Article highlighting a new paper in #GreatLakes Research on links between #algalblooms and #hypoxia. Low oxygen in the Central Basin is an important impairment to the #LakeErie ecosystem that will be a focus of the 🇨🇦🇺🇸 Cooperative Science and Monitoring Initiative #CSMI next year. We are in the midst planning many projects to target #geochemistry, #nutrients, #foodwebs and habitat use during the 2024 fieldyear.

This CBC article notes the trade-off associated with #eutrophication and #AlgalBlooms with fish habitat use and productivity. Our collaborative 2019 project in #LakeErie targeted this exact factor. Many players with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (#DFO), Ohio State U and EPA among many others. Required the CCGS Limnos, EPA Lake Explorer II and DFO RV Cisco. A bunch of papers will be out this year for this project! #cyanobacteria #HABs #microcystin #Fisheries #GreatLakes

🇨🇦 Previous Saugeen First Nation chiefs have re-iterated, if they were to win this land dispute, that public access would remain at Sauble Beach and beach goers would notice little to no difference.
“It’ll just remain the same, I believe. I think as long as people take care of the land, you know it is the freshest water in the world, right,” says Saugeen First Nation member Daryl #Indigenous #LakeErie
