Unlocking the Lakes
Season 1 Episode 15 | 26m 46sVideo has Closed Captions
Summer travel kicks off despite a pandemic, and increased wipe use stokes fatberg fears.
The pandemic raises questions: As stay-at-home orders end around the Great Lakes, does Wisconsin’s experience opening businesses predict anything for other communities that depend on tourism? How are researchers, reef restorers and hydroponic farms reacting to the pandemic? Plus, with an increase in use of personal wipes, will there be more fatbergs growing in our sewer systems?
