Call me crazy but I still believe bi-partisanship and bi-national action is possible on Great Lakes issues. Invasive carp is an example.

The story of the controversy over Enbridge Energy's Line 5 and the implications of its resolution is undertold. That's why I accepted an invitation from The Conversation to write a brief update, focused on how the Trump Administration has altered the trajectory of this complex, critical issue.
A Great Lakes oil pipeline faces 3 controversies with no speedy resolutions
The disputes raise questions about the region’s economy and environment, as well as national priorities over energy, water, climate and Indigenous rights.

The US and Canada have long managed the Great Lakes together. That era could be ending.

It's a sad state of affairs that we need to even question the U.S./Canada relationship in managing the Great Lakes, but there's apparently nothing off the table with this Administration. I appreciate Grist asking for my perspective. grist.org/politics/us-...

We're treading on dangerous territory here - degrading our capacity to protect the Great Lakes. My heart goes out to the good people in federal agencies - my friends, colleagues, and collaborators, among others - who have been cruelly and indiscriminately fired.
