GREAT LAKES BOOS WIRE REPORT, DATELINE LAKE MICHIGAN, USA
Lake Michigan has claimed another ship as the remains of the S/V Donut were found on the lake floor yesterday. It isn't clear what happened to the boat, or its passengers, but they seem to have met some sort of unpleasant end. The only notable contents found inside the wreck were a maple leaf-shaped toque, a pair of gloves shaped like the state of Michigan, a rusty saw of indeterminate age, and an ice chest containing, oddly enough, a stack of hotdog buns and about a dozen dead gobies. The hat, gloves, and saw were given to the police as evidence and the contents of the ice chest will be auctioned off in eastern Europe, where apparently people eat this sort of stuff.

Scientists communicate findings in many different ways. When the information gathered points to a particularly dire situation, they may issue a warning to humanity. Forty-two scientists recently co-authored such a warning of rapid degradation of the world's large lakes. In the paper, they summarize threats observed across the globe, what these may mean for the systems humans and wildlife depend on, and how humans can help. In this episode of Teach Me About the Great Lakes, Stuart Carlton and Carolyn Foley speak with one of the study's co-authors, Dr. Maria Dittich, an associate professor of environmental science at the University of Toronto Scarborough. They discuss what the issues are, how humans can help, and how this paper came together.
