A lesser-known Hoosier fish is cisco, the only cold-water fish species native to Indiana’s glacial lakes. As early as 1900, cisco could be found in 45 different glacial lakes in Northern Indiana, but decades of cold-water habitat loss have reduced that to seven lakes. (1/3)

Coontail (Ceratophyllum demersum) is native to midwestern lakes & does not have to be rooted in sediment. It provides excellent habitat & refuge for fish & macroinvertebrates & is sometimes confused with watermilfoil & fanwort. #themoreyouknow #MAPMS #aquaticplants

Long-term data from 300+ lakes reveals some (checks notes) good climate news? Nearly 90% show no intensification of #algae blooms & many are even trending toward better water quality. New study from @goodgracious23 - Please RT! ow.ly/TUsf50GmhQc
