A little update on all the wonderful plover hatchings on our Great Lakes Beaches. Currently, 8 nests have hatched and about 20+ chicks are running around on beaches in Michigan and Wisconsin. The first nests to hatch this season were on May 31st and a tie with chicks hatching from a nest at Green Bay, WI and one at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore! Still plenty more piping plover chicks to come with 59 nests still being incubated and hopefully a few more yet to be discovered! Thanks to everyone out there who is monitoring and keeping our plover families safe!

Scientists are warning that a vital system of ocean currents could collapse within a few decades if the world continues to pump out planet-heating pollution. According to president Peter de Menocal, this breakdown in ocean circulation “would affect every person on the planet – it’s that big and important.”

A new study published Tuesday in the journal Nature found that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)– of which the Gulf Stream is a part– is weakening and could collapse much earlier than previously predicted.
