Description:Just like their forebears in Wisconsin, these current groups have their own ways of thinking about and interacting with the creatures that swim, crawl, fly and walk in and near the inland seas. Residents and visitors also draw from and rely on the waters for subsistence, ceremony, recreation and commerce with the Great Lakes now supporting an $82 billion regional economy. As time has moved onward, Wisconsin Sea Grant through its science and service to coastal communities strives to offer relevant, respectful and effective research and initiatives to this tapestry of people and their unique experiences, abilities, orientations and identities. Related to this, program staff members are deeply mindful to focus on the traditionally marginalized and underserved. The program also carries out its work against a backdrop complicated by the increasingly insistent effects of climate change. It’s imperative, even urgent, that this strategic plan lay out goals, actions and desired outcomes for this vital freshwater ecosystem embracing traditional and local knowledge, including Indigenous knowledge as well as Western resource management. The ecosystem remains as much a treasure now as it was 10,000 years ago when mile-thick ice sheets melted away and left behind this nearly incomprehensible sweep of salt-free seas.
