@BSawosik This is very disheartening to see, and I wish it had more news coverage. I keep thinking about all the single plastics being used and the lasting effects of these on the future and what we’ll see. #AquaEco2020

The Pantanal wetlands, the largest wetland on earth and sink in the global carbon cycle, is undergoing an extreme fire. The wetland provides habitat for species as well as supports fishermen livelihood, it’s hard to believe I hadn’t even heard about this happening! #AquaEco2020

[Meredith Holgerson @pondscience]

South America's Pantanal wetlands continue to burn: a humanitarian, ecological, and climate change problem.

“Donnie”, is the coxwell bypass tunnel being built in Toronto Canada to mitigate/ eliminate sewage overflow into lake ontario, and treatment through an ultra-violet disinfection process. Wonder if projects like this will become more common for waste water treatment? #AquaEco2020

[Lake Ontario Waterkeeper @LOWaterkeeper]

A #swimdrinkfish Lake Ontario means controlling & treating human sewage. Toronto’s $3 billion effort to eliminate sewage outfalls into Lake Ontario is an under reported success story after years of work by many people. ⁦⁦⁦@waterkeepermark⁩ https://t.co/GdYaujWrAG

@OliviaLachapel1 Thanks for sharing- encouraging article seeing wildlife management in action- I didn’t even know the endangered Russian surgeon even existed (also 2.35m is a large fish!) #AquaEco2020

@alexa97393429 I remember watching this documentary and feeling so frustrated and disgusted by the lack of regulations and care for peoples water. It’s scary to think things like this are happening, and how the need for profit can be a very evil thing.#AquaEco2020

The Asian Carp is one of many invasive species threatening the Great Lakes. The Brandon Lock/ Dam, built between lake michigan and the mississippi river, will try and mitigate the contamination of water. I wonder how this will impact other aquatic life? #AquaEco2020

#InvasiveSpecies are a persistent threat to #GreatLakes communities – and fighting them must be a priority. Read more on what candidates must do to ensure this threat does not take hold in the Great Lakes.

Millions of homes in the US struggle with access to clean and affordable water. COVID19 has placed economic strain on many, and water affordability is a growing concern. The article makes it clear that now more than ever water needs to be prioritized in discussion. #AquaEco2020

@RichardCadario2 Very encouraging to see, and I am excited to see how much plastic can be reduced! Also, hopefully this project can lead to greater community awareness about plastic use and littering to try and stop the issue at the source. #AquaEco2020

[liv_andersonn @AndersonnLiv]

Canada pledges zero plastic waste by 2030. Plastic is 80% of the litter on the shorelines of the Great Lakes, Canada taking this step will be beneficial. I wonder how the US govt will follow in the fight to reduce plastic in the great lakes-pollution has no boarders #Aquaeco2020

[Great Lakes Now @GreatLakesNow]

Canada took the next step in its effort to achieve zero plastic waste by 2030 last week when it announced a ban on certain single-use plastic items and designated those items "toxic." #GreatLakes #plasticpollution

@RaquaticsP While once mostly sheep pasture, NZ has greatly shifted towards dairy/ beef farming.When I visited, we helped farmers with riparian planting. Many farmers seem committed to clean rivers, it’s disheartening to see govt. ignoring nutrient counts #AquaEco2020

[liv_andersonn @AndersonnLiv]

@OliviaLachapel1 Very interesting... crazy to think what the future of ocean ecosystems will look like!! I wonder how this also impacts fishing communities? #AquaEco2020

Professors Charpentier and Doudna won the 2020 Nobel Prize in chemistry (developing a method in genome editing). This is the first time the Nobel Prize for chem. has been awarded to two women in the same year! Great to see representation in science! #womeninscience #aquaeco2020

@BSawosik What a project, and what an accomplishment! I wonder how the Trout will assimilate to their new environment, and how these ecosystems will respond to the species being there again after so long!? #AquaEco2020

A walk through the woods, and noticing all of the pretty autumn leaves falling into these marshes, increasing organic matter, mixing into detritus, and leaching on into the stages of Decomposition! #AquaEco2020 everywhere I go🍁🍂

[liv_andersonn @AndersonnLiv]

@RaquaticsP With years of climate projections and data proving such warming events, we need political action and leaders around the world to take note. #AquaEco2020

[liv_andersonn @AndersonnLiv]

Wildfires on water, result in erosion, timing of snow melt, and ash settling. As climate change increases fire threats, where we get drinking water from is a major concern. Thinking about these lasting impacts for the communities out west. #AquaEco2020

@otoole_keith Great article, I often hear about sunscreen damaging corals, but not about the other small aquatic ecosystem organisms too. I know there’s coral friendly sunscreen- so I wonder if it can too pertains to these small fleas and Daphnia. #AquaEco2020

[liv_andersonn @AndersonnLiv]

With 10,000 metric tones of plastic in the great lakes yearly, these new innovative “Seabin and LittaTraps” that capture plastic are great! I haven’t seen one on my local part of lake Ontario yet- but I will have to check it out. Nice work! #AquaEco2020 https://t.co/RUL3nEVrdw

[liv_andersonn @AndersonnLiv]

@otoole_keith It’s hard to believe that access to clean water isn’t always viewed as a human right. Very disheartening to see roll backs for seemingly just greedy reasons; with little consideration for the future sustainability of our waters. #AquaEco2020

[liv_andersonn @AndersonnLiv]

Implementing living shorelines for climate change mitigation, like the communities on the Niagara watershed, helps protect against erosion, filter water, and provide habitat. It will be cool to see great lakes communities at risk of erosion do the same! Cool article. #AquaEco2020
