So it goes

[Rebecca Esselman @NatureIsWater]

Road salt is good for driver safety but bad for waterways. In the #GreatLakes region, tons of salt hit our roads every year then wash into our lakes, streams & aquifers.

“It’s a mission that has never been more urgent: The 2018 Global Wetland Outlook announced that wetlands are ‘disappearing three times faster than forests’ and that 35 percent of the world’s wetlands were destroyed between 1970 and 2015.” https://t.co/Bsx1yBu7CN

@capt451f Lol I could use a spa day like that myself.

Hey Lansing, Riverwalk Theatr would like to know more about your stage presence re: Boots

[Paul F. Tompkins @PFTompkins]

YES. Folks, I have one request this & every Halloween: post pictures of your fat babies and/or pets in costumes. Plants in costumes also accepted! The babies and/or pets do not HAVE to be fat, it’s just a plus. NO FAT PLANTS. Tag your pics with #fatbabiesandorpets

Some initial observations on oral arguments in Sackett v. EPA—with the caveat that the questions and discussion at oral argument do not necessarily foreshadow the ultimate opinion issued by the Court #WOTUS /1

[Dr. Sara Winnike McMillan @EbowSara]

Following Sackett v EPA oral arguments today. #Wetlands protect water quality downstream, store floodwaters and provide so many other ecosystem services. While the legal arguments are confusing, the science is clear.

[Ariel Wittenberg @ArielWittenberg]

Hannah and Pamela also have this excellent primer on what's at stake, more broadly, during oral arguments today:

[Ariel Wittenberg @ArielWittenberg]

Of course, for a more serious explanation of the issue on the table today, check out this story from @pamelalauren + @HMNorthey laying the ground for this case. They're at SCOTUS for oral arguments in person today

(I shall livetweet the livestream)

New Paper w/ #SarahDobie: Defining #CoastalResilience in the #GreatLakes https://t.co/HIFDYI2Akg

TONS of variability in resiliency definitions across great lakes institutions. Little incorporation of 1) #DEIJ, & 2) built vs natural environments.

#LakesAppreciation month is a good time to learn more about the state of our nation’s lakes. @EPA recently released the results of the 2017 National Lakes Assessment with infographics, key findings, and tools to explore the massive amount of data: https://t.co/0GziCYSgPr

The comments are a mess so let’s have a thread of the extinctions zoos helped prevent.

River sediment is changing globally, impacting the stability of river systems and the ecological and economic systems that rely on them. New #SciencePerspective shows the current state of knowledge… https://t.co/NGLTvXZY89

Always wanted to visit Fayette Historic State Park, which finally happened in May. I was interested in the ruins and had a vague notion there were cliffs — and no idea whatsoever they featured ancient trees. https://t.co/1Hp5UV4PL4
