os're seeing more and more of them in lake michigan and lake superior. i'm concerned for the 35 million people who depend on the great lakes for their source of drinking water and for the millions of jobs across the region and the myriad ecosystems. so i'm curious about how you and your organization, the cleveland water alliance, have been inrking -- you have been working to help lake erie communities. can similar solutions be adapted to communities on the other great lakes? when does that fit and when is it not a fit? >> i think it's always a for fi, and it's our job to figure out -- as you put it, lake erie is,or unfortunately, the poster child for it in the great lake regions. but as much bad things, we have 200 companies in northeast ohio, we can do the same thing by really driving good, innovative solutions. right now we're taking part in a eretty unique program through the great lakes protection fund that's funding us to work with all of the community foundations surrounding the great lakes. called great lakes one water. and we made a recommendatio

in an area the size of lake michigan, we could produce an amount of seafood equivalent to the total global wild catch.
