Great Lakes Month in Review: Algae blooms and Gov. Snyder's record

NASA Goddard Photo and Video

At the end of each month we check in with Great Lakes commentator and journalist Gary Wilson for updates on environmental stories from around the basin. For today’s Great Lakes Month in Review, we’re focusing on Governor Snyder’s environmental efforts and algae blooms.

Wilson reports that Snyder was on the sidelines for the first three years, but is now concentrating more on the Great Lakes this year.

This segment is supported by Michigan State University's Knight Center for Environmental Journalism. More news about the Great Lakes environment can be found at GreatLakesEcho.org and on Current State every Tuesday as part of our partnership.
