Great Lakes being affected by climate change

According to Kevin Strychar, an associate professor at Grand Valley State University’s Annis Water Resources Institute, the Great Lakes are taking a beating because of climate change. Strychar was a part of a team of authors that penned the report “Science, Education, and Outreach Roadmap for Natural Resources,” from the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities. In the report, it is stated that the Great Lakes are now more suitable for invasive species and infectious pathogens. Additionally, there may be some negative impacts to recreational value and drinking water potential.
