Let’s Talk Lake Huron: Wild Rice and Fish Protection on Lake Huron

Hosted by the Lake Huron Partnership, co-led by Environment and Climate Change Canada and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Join us for a one-hour public webinar as we discuss wild rice and fisheries protection in the Lake Huron basin, the stressors affecting these resources, such as climate change, and actions the U.S. and Canada are taking to address these issues.

We will hear from guest speaker Arunas Liskauskas of the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry, who will discuss the status and conditions of Lake Huron fisheries and current fish rehabilitation projects that will help protect this important resource. We’ll also hear from Jon Mauchmar of Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, who will discuss how environmental changes are affecting manoomin (wild rice) in the Great Lakes basin and restoration work to preserve this culturally significant plant.

Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions to our experts. This is a virtual webinar hosted on Zoom and is the latest in our webinar series, Let’s Talk Lake Huron!
