From critical research on invasive species to real-time tracking of algal blooms, NOAA’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab constantly monitors the health of the Great Lakes.

Climate change is having major impacts on the Great Lakes, and we need critical research like GLERL’s to understand + address it. We can’t afford to lose GLERL to these short-sighted attacks. Read the full story today or use the link in our bio: https://zurl.co/aSrOk

We will be joined by speaker Regina Hsu who is a senior attorney in Earthjustice’s California Regional Office, where she works on the Right to Zero campaign. Regina primarily works to accelerate transportation electrification in California and nationwide. Much of her work centers on electrifying the goods movement industry and reducing pollution at the San Pedro Bay Ports, the largest port complex in the United States and single largest stationary source of pollution in the Los Angeles region.

🚨 The EPA is trying to roll back over 30 critical climate and air pollution protections—putting millions of lives at risk. As health professionals, we’re sounding the alarm: weakening these safeguards would be the biggest pollution increase in decades and a direct threat to public health.

These protections prevent 200,000 deaths and over 100 million asthma attacks through 2050. Losing them would devastate communities already burdened by environmental injustice and climate change.

📢 Add your name. Stand with us to defend science, health, and the Clean Air Act.
