SUMMARY:Assessing Nutrient Load Reductions in H2Ohio Constructed Wetlands: Case Studies from Brooks Park and the Burntwood-Langenkamp Wetlands
DESCRIPTION:Join the Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research (CIGLR) for an upcoming Great Lakes Seminar Series presentation\, featuring MISG Director Silvia Newell!\nDate: Thursday\, January 17\nTime: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EST\nLocation: NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab\, 4840 South State Road\, Ann Arbor OR Virtual\nPresenter: Silvia Newell\, Director\, Michigan Sea Grant and Professor\, University of Michigan \nClick here to register \nAssessing Nutrient Load Reductions in H2Ohio Constructed Wetlands: Case Studies from Brooks Park and the Burntwood-Langenkamp Wetlands \nAbout the presentation: Wetlands perform critical ecosystem services\, including nutrient reduction\, flood mitigation\, and biodiversity habitat. More than 90% of wetlands in Ohio have been destroyed and most major water bodies in the state now experience annual harmful cyanobacterial blooms. The H2Ohio Initiative in part funds statewide wetland restoration to improve water quality through nutrient reduction. Dr. Newell is one of the H2Ohio Wetland Monitoring Program leads\, monitoring water quality at newly constructed wetland or restored wetlands. This talk will focus on nutrient reductions at two wetlands: Brooks Park flowing into Buckeye Lake\, a hypereutrophic lake experiencing annual harmful algal blooms. Brooks Park wetland was built at the junction of Murphy’s Run creek into Buckeye Lake\, draining a very small watershed (1.2 sq. miles) and behaves as either a flow-through wetland or a coastal wetland depending on precipitation. Preliminary data from the first year of monitoring indicates that the wetland is a sink for total nitrogen (>3000 lbs/yr)\, but a small source of ammonium (~44 lbs/yr). However\, the wetland is a very small source of total phosphorus (~42 lbs/yr)\, while a sink for soluble reactive phosphorus (~16 lbs/yr). The 90-acre Burntwood-Langenkamp Wetland Conservation Area is located at the confluence of Burntwood and Coldwater Creeks in Mercer County. This site is a former corn/soybean field in the Grand Lake Saint Marys watershed. Water enters the site from Burntwood Creek (BWC) through pump and overflow and then flows through a series of settling ponds and vegetated flats that extend for over a mile. BWC drains approximately 5\,700 acres of watershed land and can hold approximately 20 million gallons of water. Total Nitrogen (TN) concentrations at the outflow are approximately 73% lower than the TN inflow concentrations\, which average over 16.3 mg N/L for the year 2023. An approximate annual decrease thus far of ~55% in SRP concentration has been seen between the inflow and outflow with outflow concentrations averaging 0.044 mg P/L. Nutrient load reduction will likely vary as the wetlands mature\, but data from the first year indicate that both wetlands are already performing a vital ecosystem service. \nAbout the speaker: Silvia Santa Maria Newell is Michigan Sea Grant’s director\, based in Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan. A nutrient biogeochemist and microbial ecologist\, Silvia’s own research focuses on the effects of excess nutrients from fertilizer and wastewater on inland and coastal waters\, particularly harmful algal blooms (HABs) in Lake Erie. Her current collaborative work in the Lake Erie watershed focuses on engaging stakeholders (farmers\, managers\, and policymakers) to develop realistic pathways for nutrient reduction. She has held many leadership positions\, including serving as co-chair of the Great Lakes Commission HABs Collaboratory for two years and her current position as President of the Lake Erie Area Research Network.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Diverting Nutrients from Aquaculture Facilities into Additional Products
DESCRIPTION:Nutrient runoff\, including from fish farms\, contributes to the growth of harmful algal blooms. While aquaculture is an economic opportunity for Great Lakes states\, nutrient pollution from fish waste could exacerbate this issue. \nResearchers Dr. Silvia Newell and Dr. Kevin Neves developed and analyzed a recirculating aquaculture system for perch production that uses nitrogen waste from fish ponds to support production of prawns and tomatoes. \nOhio Sea Grant will host a webinar on December 14\, 2023 at 12:00pm-12:30pm to explore this avenue of research. \nLearn more about the speakers and register here

SUMMARY:Seafood HACCP training workshop
DESCRIPTION:Commercial fishing operators and fish processors must follow strict guidelines to meet tribal\, state\, and federal requirements for health and food safety. The Seafood Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) certification course is a federal regulation for ensuring that businesses handling seafood products stay up-to-date on requirements and best practices. This allows commercial fishers and processors to meet licensing requirements and provide a safe and healthy product for consumers. \nMichigan Sea Grant will host a Seafood HACCP training course on December 5-7\, 2023 at the Ojibwa Casino Hotel in Baraga\, Michigan (16449 Michigan Avenue\, Baraga\, Michigan 49908). \nFind the agenda and register here: https://qrs.ly/zsfa94p

SUMMARY:Lake sturgeon release events
DESCRIPTION:Local\, state\, and federal partners invite the public to a second lake sturgeon release celebration on September 23\, 2023\, in the Saginaw Bay river system. Releases will reintroduce more than 100 hatchery-raised sturgeon into each tributary of the Saginaw Bay river system (Cass\, Flint\, Shiawassee\, and Tittabawassee rivers). Short presentations may be made at three of the events by local partners. \nThis year’s release events will mark an important milestone: 5\,000 lake sturgeon released into the Saginaw Bay river system to help rebuild populations of this iconic native fish species. \n \nPublic release events on Sept. 23 include: \n\n11 a.m.\, Tittabawassee River. It will be held at the Bob G. Caldwell Municipal Boat in Midland\, MI. For more information\, contact Jennifer Kirts at jkirts@chippewanaturecenter.org. \n12 p.m.\, Shiawassee River. The release will take place at Cole Park in Chesaning\, MI\, and will be hosted by the Friends of the Shiawassee River. For more information\, contact Sarah Baker at sbaker@shiawasseeriver.org. \n1:30 p.m.\, Flint River. It will be held at the Paddlers’ Landings (Mott Park Recreation Area) in Flint\, MI\, and will be hosted by the Flint River Watershed Coalition. For more information\, contact Jennifer Raymond at director@flintriver.org. \n2 p.m.\, Cass River. The release is at the parking lot at the Gunzenhausen Walkway in Frankenmuth\, MI\, and will be hosted by the City of Frankenmuth. For more information\, contact Dan Hopp at dhopp@frankenmuthcity.com.   \n\nClick here to download a sharable flyer as a PDF \nLake sturgeon are a unique Great Lakes species. They can grow up to 7 feet long and can weigh up to 300 pounds. The slow-maturing fish do not begin reproducing until they are 15-20 years old. Once abundant in many Michigan lakes and rivers\, lake sturgeon were nearly eradicated due to overfishing and habitat loss\, particularly the destruction of rocky reefs in rivers that sturgeon and other native fish species use for spawning. In recent years\, many partnerships and projects are working to restore sturgeon to a self-sustaining level in Michigan. This work includes restoring sturgeon habitat\, reintroducing sturgeon into their native ranges\, and raising awareness and appreciation for this unique species. \nThe August 2023 sturgeon release events are supported by a variety of partners including City of Frankenmuth\, Chippewa Nature Center\, Flint River Watershed Coalition\, Friends of the Shiawassee River\, Michigan Department of Natural Resources\, Michigan Sea Grant\, Michigan State University Department of Fisheries and Wildlife\, MSU Extension\, Saginaw Bay Watershed Initiative Network\, Sturgeon for Tomorrow – Black Lake Chapter\, The Conservation Fund\, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service\, and more.  \nLearn more about the lake sturgeon restoration efforts on the Saginaw Bay Sturgeon website (www.saginawbaysturgeon.org).  \nGENERAL RELEASE EVENT QUESTIONS\, CONTACT \nMeaghan Gass\, Michigan Sea Grant Extension Educator\, gassmeag@msu.edu\, (989) 895-4026 ext. 5 \nMike Kelly\, The Conservation Fund\, Great Lakes Office\, Director\, kellym@conservationfund.org\, (989) 892-9172
