May 22, 2026

The Spring 2026 issue of Lakes Letter is here! Under the theme Great Lakes Policy, this issue examines the policy, science, and governance challenges facing the Laurentian Great Lakes at a pivotal moment. From the rapid expansion of data centers and their hidden water demands, to the slow-motion threat of road salt pollution, to the governance gaps exposed by shifting U.S. federal priorities, the articles in this issue make clear that the Great Lakes' future depends on decisions being made right now.
