Great Lakes Symposium: The Great Lakes Plastic Cleanup Takes Action Through Collaboration 03 05 26

An estimated 22 million pounds of plastic are placed in the Great Lakes each year. The Council for the Great Lakes Region (CGLR) has led the efforts to mitigate marine debris, and primarily plastic debris in the Great Lakes through The Great Lakes Plastic Cleanup. The Great Lakes Plastic Cleanup brings together collaborators from across the binational Great Lakes region to take action on the plastic pollution problem. Partners from throughout the Great Lakes have deployed innovative technologies to mitigating plastic debris in the waters of marinas and in the beaches that run along the shoreline. Some of them shared their approaches to this effort and show what has, and has not, worked to help alleviate plastic debris in the Great Lakes. Panelists include Ally Walker, Program Officer, Council of the Great Lakes Region Greg Kleinheinz (Director) and Brittany Dupree (Lab Manager), Environmental Research and Innovation Center, UW Oshkosh Jamie Cross, Shipboard Science Instructor, Grand Valley State University, Annis Water Resources Institute Katie Rademacher, Research & Restoration Manager, Milwaukee Riverkeeper This event was part of the online Great Lakes Freshwater Symposium series, a partnership between the Freshwater Collaborative of Wisconsin, the Great Lakes Higher Education Consortium and Council of the Great Lakes Region.
