• Description:
  The Milwaukee Estuary is a highly urbanized and industrialized watershed that was designated as an Area of Concern (AOC) under the 1987 Great Lakes Water Quality agreement. Significant remediation efforts have been conducted in recent years to improve habitat quality for resident biota and reduce levels of contamination. In 2017 and 2018, an integrated assessment of environmental contamination and bivalve health was conducted within the estuary, combining multiple approaches such as ‘omics techniques, passive samplers, and analysis of contaminants in dreissenid mussel tissue.
