Great article about #BigAg...

"Water from the #RedRiver flows through #LakeWinnipeg on its journey to #HudsonBay. Lake Winnipeg is huge—the world’s 11th largest freshwater lake by surface area (even larger than Lake Ontario and about the same as Lake Erie) and has the world’s largest ‘lakeshed’, i.e. area of land draining to a lake. It supports a large commercial and sport fishery for several fish species including walleye, which are a peculiar green color there due to the mineral content of the water."

"The #water_quality in Lake Winnipeg is tanking because of “rapidly increased #livestock production and use of synthetic #fertilizer in the Red River Valley, with smaller contributions of phosphorus from the city of Winnipeg and other human development in the Red and Winnipeg River basins .” Nutrient-driven #toxic #algae blooms have doubled in size since the 1990s due to increases in Red River phosphorus levels, a common component of livestock manure."

Missing Global #Climate Target Could Spell Disaster for These #PolarBears
One group in #HudsonBay might have roughly a decade left because sea #ice is becoming too thin to support them as they hunt, according to new research. “We’ve known that the loss of #Arctic #seaice would spell disaster for polar bears, so this might be the first subpopulation that disappears.”
This year the eastern half of Hudson Bay went ice free a month earlier than usual.
