Dear @ChicagoParks please initiate a drowning prevention campaign at all public beaches & harbors 70% of AfAm’s can’t swim that’s over 500K AfAm Chicagoans. With the 100 year anniversary of the #ChicagoRaceRiots it seems like a perfect time to purposely help save lives.

It's #FieldPhotoFriday! 📸

Take a look at one of our field biologists in action, conducting a macrophyte survey in a stream. Using a specialized rake, they toss it into the water, let it sink, and then retrieve it to identify and count the aquatic plants.

@FoxNews @leemzeldin Such a tough era to lead the EPA in. Every state has their unique issues and economic tensions. I was pleased hearing him simply articulate the science of greenhouse gases on the atmosphere and oceans.

@drboycewatkins1 For some time I’ve tried to communicate or better yet translate the threat of volatile weather to economies, supply chains and industries. The language of disaster/climate instability is wages, operating costs, disruption to goods & services.

When I think about a session I wonder how a water literacy for elected officials would be received.

@GreatLakesNow With so many Americans suffering from water insecurity his ideas are much more fluid and fast moving than that of the water conservation community. What will happen if Americans begin to agree?

Trump’s statement about a "large faucet” that could be turned on to bring water from Canada to California did not go unnoticed by Canada’s Maude Barlow, who has a long career working to preserve and protect water.
