Called the “rainforests of the Northern Hemisphere,” coastal wetlands are one of the most productive habitats in northern latitudes. They warm up before the lake and serve as important spawning and nursery habitat for nearly three quarters of Great Lakes fish species. Wetlands, like the Great Lakes themselves, have changed over time, especially from human impacts, but wetlands remain important habitats. Join Fisheries Specialist Titus Seilheimer for a virtual tour of coastal wetlands and the current status of other Great Lakes habitats.
