CHICAGO (WLS) The Great Lakes, while beautiful, are a fragile freshwater ecosystem that needs to be protected. The mission is to save North America s most valuable resource.
Climate change and extreme weather are becoming more frequent. High lake levels and erosion is causing millions of dollars of damage to the prized shoreline. Pollution is causing toxic algal blooms and an abundance of plastic contamination in the water and along the shore. Invasive species are wreaking havoc on the natural ecosystem.
The cities that surround the Great Lakes wouldn t be what they are today without that breathtaking natural resource, and while many factors are at play there is one common goal: saving, protecting and preserving the glorious bodies of water and our cities that we call home.
