Coastal Zone
Published August 2022
Focusing on the Coastal Zone, this issue examines the dynamic interface where land meets water and its critical role in Great Lakes health. It explores the ecological significance of nearshore habitats, estuaries, and coastal wetlands while balancing their history of modification with current restoration hopes. Contributions include Indigenous-led monitoring programs and detailed studies on larval fish growth and filamentous algal blooms, emphasizing how these transition zones serve as both hotspots of productivity and indicators of broader environmental change requiring careful protection.
