At Issue with Ben Merens
from Thursday, January 3, 2013 at 3:00 PM

Pollution, shoreline development, invasive species...these are just a few of the challenges facing the Great Lakes. This hour, Ben Merens talks with a researcher, who's developed interactive maps that visualize the stressors facing the Great Lakes, about the health of our lakes...and what we can do to start repairing them. Guest: Peter McIntyre, Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Center for Limnology. He's also a project leader at the Great Lakes Environmental Assessment and Mapping Project (GLEAM). You can see the new Great Lakes stressors map at http://www.greatlakesmapping.org
