This book was released on 1973 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Containment of the polluted dredge spoil will remove it as a source of pollution to the open waters of the bay. Dikes will protect Pointe Mouillee Wildlife shoreland marshes from further erosion and create additional fishing habitat. Future development and management of the site and marshlands will optimize wildlife habitats and provide recreational potential for waterfowlers and naturalists. Replacement of 700 acres of Lake Erie bottomland by the proposed structure may introduce an adverse esthetic impact on the natural landforms of the area. The dikes and management measures would create a secondary adverse impact on historical and biological relationships of the marsh to the lake. Although the structure will offer a protection against erosion from wave action, it will not prevent losses of vegetation from flooding. The function of the marsh as a spawning and feeding habitat for fish, as it existed in the 1930's, is now measurably reduced and would not resume behind the anticipated dikes. A lagoon situation behind the dikes, which would enhance conditions relative to spawning and feeding, is dependent on levels of turbidity and concentrations of pollutants that may result. Alternatives to the recommend plan include: (1) Resume open lake disposal which would return pollutants to the waterways, but such action is prohibited by request of the Governor of Michigan; (2) Discontinue dredging of polluted sediments which would reduce channel depths and curtail shipping; and (3) Use another site for disposal.

Book excerpt: The Great Lakes—containing one-fifth of the standing freshwater on earth, covering some 94,250 square miles with a combined 10,210 miles of shoreline—have suffered greatly from human use and abuse since the advent of the commercial fur trade in the late 1600s. Logging destroys or degrades habitats, urbanization and industrialization pour human and industrial wastes into the water, fertilizers flowing off farm fields feed algae that suffocate other creatures, and ships bring in exotic species that decimate the lakes’ biodiversity. In 1985 when the International Joint Commission identified more than forty pollution hotspots around the lakes, few people had faith the Areas of Concern would be cleaned up in their lifetime. Indeed, aquatic ecosystem restoration is extremely difficult: only nine of these hotspots have been removed from the infamous list. But progress is being made, and at the helm are local champions, people with a profound love of the region who lead by example and build broad, diverse coalitions in order to realize a common vision. The stories of fourteen of these champions are told here to inspire necessary action to care for the place they call home, so it may be a home to many living creatures for ages yet to come.
