"The massive freighters that ply the Great Lakes are back at work following the early reopening of the Soo Locks for the 2025-26 season, and they're doing it all under the watchful eyes of webcams that track them from Minnesota to New York."

This is the first time #CougarCubs have been verified since the big cats were hunted out of existence in #Michigan in the early 1900s, said Brian Roell, large carnivore specialist for the MDNR. Roell, a #wildlife biologist for 26yrs, led the team that verified the cubs.

“It’s pretty exciting, considering this could be the first known cougar reproduction in modern times in the western #GreatLakes states,”said Roell, referring to Michigan, Wisconsin & Minnesota.

#Palisades power plant will restart. Here's where on the #GreatLakes #NuclearPlants operate

Story by Sarah Moore, Lansing State Journal, 2/27/2025

"Owners of Michigan's Palisades nuclear energy plant this week announced a new five-year program aimed at restarting the power station while adding two smaller, modular reactors to the existing facility.

"Holtec has launched 'Mission 2030,' a program to build America’s first small modular reactors — Holtec’s SMR-300 — at the Palisades site in Covert Township, Michigan, with a target of 2030 for first commercial operation.' Holtec International said in a release. "The new SMR-300s will be co-located with the existing 800-megawatt Palisades plant, which is on track to restart after an extended outage following shutdown in 2022.'

"The program was discussed at a ceremony Feb. 25, at which #Holtec said it has joined forces with #Hyundai Engineering & Construction to build a 10-gigawatt fleet of SMR-300s in North America, the release said.

"Nuclear energy production is seeing growing interest for power generation because it requires no fossil fuels and can help reduce greenhouse gases. The systems, however, generate tons of highly #RadioactiveWaste that has to be stored. In #Michigan, waste is stored within a short distance of the #GreatLakes in some locations."

In one of devastating #DJT cuts to many govt sponsored programs, the #GOP #DOGE has cut #NOAA programs, including the #Maine Sea Grant, put dozens of scientists and stake holders with decades of experience at each site focused on the intersections of #fisheries, #science, #politics & society out of work. The 34 federally funded #SeaGrant programs operated throughout the coastal and #GreatLakes areas with college students and professionals focused on #marinelife and #water quality. #RIP
