FOURTEEN JOURNALISTS WERE COMPETITIVELY SELECTED TO BE GREAT WATERS FELLOWS. DUE TO ILLNESS, ONE JOURNALIST WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE TRIP, LEAVING A GROUP OF THIRTEEN TO CIRCUMNAVIGATE THE LAKE. THE GROUP EXAMINED TIMELY ISSUES OF WATER USE, ENERGY PRODUCTION, CLIMATE, FISHERIES, SHIPPING, SHORELINE DEVELOPMENT, AND POLLUTION THAT APPLY THROUGHOUT THE GREAT LAKES REGION: - COMEBACK OF A CHARISMATIC NATIVE: RESTORING THE ATLANTIC SALMON TO LAKE ONTARIO - MANAGING STORM RUNOFF AND NON-POINT POLLUTION IN MAJOR METROPOLITAN AREAS - ENERGY PROS & CONS: COAL, HYDRO, HYDROKINETIC, GEOTHERMAL & WIND (INCLUDING OFF-SHORE FACILITIES) - THREATENED SPECIES CASE STUDY: THE AMERICAN EEL - TOXIC HOT SPOTS: A REPORT CARD ON THE PACE OF REMEDIATION IN GREAT LAKES "AREAS OF CONCERN" - BALLAST WATER TECHNOLOGY AND SALT WATER SHIPPING IN THE GREAT LAKES ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY - WATER-LEVEL REGULATION AND WETLAND HABITAT - EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING ON SHALLOW-WATER ECOSYSTEMS IN THE GREAT LAKES BASIN FELLOWS TOURED TORONTO'S UNIQUE ENWAVE FACILITY, WHICH PUMPS COLD WATER FROM THE FLOOR OF LAKE ONTARIO INTO A COOLING SYSTEM THAT SERVES DOWNTOWN TORONTO BUILDINGS. THEY WERE ALSO TAKEN AROUND THE CITY TO SEE HOW OFFICIALS DEAL WITH STORM-WATER RUN-OFF AND POLLUTION ISSUES, CULMINATING IN A TRIP INTO THE DEPTHS OF A GIANT UNDERGROUND STORM-WATER STORAGE SILO. THE GROUP MET SHIPPING OFFICIALS, SCIENTISTS AND ENVIRONMENTALISTS ALONG THE WELLAND CANAL TO DISCUSS ISSUES OF BALLAST-WATER MANAGEMENT AND EXOTIC INVASIVE SPECIES. THEY ALSO MET WITH INDUSTRY REPS AND CITIZEN ACTIVISTS TO TALK ABOUT THE REMEDIATION PROCESS IN THE SEVERELY POLLUTED HAMILTON HARBOR. LATER IN THE TRIP, FELLOWS GATHERED ON WOLFE ISLAND, ONTARIO, TO DISCUSS THE CONTROVERSIAL 86-TURBINE WIND FARM SITED THERE. THEY ALSO MET WITH CONSERVATION OFFICIALS AND FISHERMEN TO TALK ABOUT THE ONCE ABUNDANT AND NOW RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING AMERICAN EEL. BEFORE WRAPPING UP THE TRIP, FELLOWS EVEN GOT TO STRAP ON HIP WADERS AND ACCOMPANY FISH BIOLOGISTS AS THEY WADED INTO LAKE ONTARIO TRIBUTARIES AND RELEASED JUVENILE ATLANTIC SALMON AS PART OF A MULTI-YEAR RESTORATION EFFORT. PROGRAM SERVICE STATEMENT PART III, 4B, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OUTREACH PROGRAM - THIS PROGRAM INVOLVES RESEARCH EFFORTS AND IN-PERSON MEETINGS REGARDING PROGRAMS THAT IJNR MIGHT HOST TWO-TO-FOUR YEARS IN THE FUTURE.

PROGRAM SERVICE STATEMENT PART III, 4C, STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS GREAT WATERS REUNION - THIS "REFRESHER" EXPEDITION WAS CREATED FOR IJNR ALUMNI AND TOOK PLACE IN LAKE MICHIGAN, WHERE IT EXPLORED THE ROLE OF ISLAND ECOSYSTEMS IN GREAT LAKES ECOLOGY. TWELVE JOURNALISTS, WHO WERE ALUMNI OF PREVIOUS IJNR INSTITUTES, GATHERED IN TRAVERSE CITY, MICHIGAN BEFORE TAKING THE FERRY OUT TO BEAVER ISLAND IN NORTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN. THE GROUP LEARNED ABOUT FISHERIES MANAGEMENT, INVASIVE SPECIES, DEVELOPMENT PRESSURES, CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE UNIQUE ROLE THAT THE GREAT LAKES' 30,000 ISLANDS PLAY IN THE OVERALL ECOSYSTEM. TOPICS COVERED INCLUDED: - THE ROLE OF OFFSHORE ISLAND ECOSYSTEMS AS SPAWNING GROUNDS AND NURSERIES FOR GREAT LAKES FISHERIES - THE UNIQUE VULNERABILITIES OF ISLAND ECOSYSTEMS TO EXOTIC SPECIES - LOCAL SUCCESSES IN THE CONTROL OF TERRESTRIAL EXOTIC INVASIVES - GIGANTISM, AND OTHER QUIRKS OF ISLAND EVOLUTION - THE BALANCE BETWEEN DEVELOPMENT AND PRESERVATION IN TOURISM-BASED ISLAND ECONOMIES - LESSONS LEARNED FROM CORMORANT MANAGEMENT IN THE BEAVER ISLAND ARCHIPELAGO - THE ROLE OF GREAT LAKES ISLANDS IN AVIAN MIGRATION AND REPRODUCTION FELLOWS STAYED AT CENTRAL MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY'S BEAVER ISLAND RESEARCH STATION AND EXTENSIVELY TOURED BEAVER ISLAND. THEY LEARNED ABOUT THE UNIQUE CONFLICTS THAT ARISE FROM THE PRESSURES OF TOURISM AND DEVELOPMENT ON ISLAND ECOSYSTEMS. FELLOWS VISITED THE SITE OF A CONTROVERSIAL CLEAR CUT AND MET WITH RESIDENTS WITH DIFFERING OPINIONS ON HOW BEAVER ISLAND SHOULD BE MANAGED - FROM VACATION HOME OPTIMIZATION, TO LOGGING, TO DEER HUNTING, TO ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION. THE GROUP GOT TO HEAR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, SCIENTISTS AND CITIZENS DISCUSS THE BURGEONING CORMORANT POPULATION AND THEIR PERCEIVED EFFECT ON GAME FISH POPULATIONS. FELLOWS WERE INTRODUCED TO THE ENDANGERED YELLOW MONKEY FLOWER AND WERE TREATED TO A PRESENTATION ON ASIAN CARP BY THE COUNTRY'S LEADING EXPERT ON THE ISSUE.
