“…Multiple CECs were frequently detected in different sample types across SRFs, including DEET, erythromycin, citalopram, 10-hydroxy-amitriptyline, diphenhydramine, and several pesticides. Many of these CECs have been previously identified in fish tissues (Zhou et al 2018;Banda et al 2020;Deere et al 2020), water samples from the Great Lakes basin (Baldwin et al 2016;Choy et al 2017;Elliott et al 2017), and other locations throughout the world (Ramirez et al 2009;Meador et al 2016;Grabicova et al 2017). The differences observed in CEC and PBDE exposure among SRF sites indicate that not all sites are equal in terms of contaminant exposure.…”

Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) are ubiquitous throughout aquatic environments. Previous research has shown that CECs can have detrimental effects on fish biology, potentially leading to population impacts. Specifically, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), a class of CECs, have been shown to alter thyroid hormones in fish, which can impact development, endocrine system functioning, and possibly imprinting. These impacts can lead to reproductive effects and population declines, which have serious implications for species of conservation priority, such as the Lake Sturgeon Acipenser fulvescens. To assess the effects of CECs and PBDEs, Lake Sturgeon were evaluated at rearing facilities within the Great Lakes basin during 2017-2018 to determine (1) whether exposure to CECs and PBDEs differs between facility locations and (2) whether changes in whole-body PBDE concentrations correlate with changes in thyroid hormones (triiodothyronine [T 3 ] and thyroxine [T 4 ]), which could indicate impacts to imprinting. Exposure to CECs and PBDEs differed among sites. The CECs that were detected in water across all sites included atrazine, hexachlorobenzene, N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET), desethylatrazine, erythromycin, and metformin, with the highest concentrations (except for DEET) measured at the Maumee River (Ohio) streamside rearing facility.We detected PBDEs in every sample of water, food, and Lake Sturgeon eggs and whole bodies, and there were no differences in lipid-normalized total PBDE concentrations in whole bodies across sites. Concentrations of total PBDE and the PBDE congeners 47, 99, 100, 153, 154, and 209 in fish tissues did not correlate with serum T 3 and T 4 levels, indicating that observed concentrations were unlikely to negatively impact Lake Sturgeon rearing for the biological endpoints assessed. Overall, this study exemplifies a cautionary tale since CECs and PBDEs were identified throughout Lake Sturgeon habitat and in hatchery food sources. Fisheries managers should be aware of the potential for CEC and PBDE impacts even though current observed levels do not seem to be impacting Lake Sturgeon rearing success.

“…Lastly, grab samples analyzed in this study at best provided a snapshot of OMP occurrence in a subset of lakes in New York State. Future work incorporating passive sampling efforts (e.g., from offshore weather buoys) , would help fulfill the needs of time-integrative sampling but requires more challenging levels of citizen participation and commitment. With appropriate training methodology and timely knowledge sharing, we envision a growing role of citizen science in collaborative OMP research.…”

The widespread occurrence of organic micropollutants (OMPs) is a challenge for aquatic ecosystem management, and closing the gaps in risk assessment of OMPs requires a data-driven approach. One promising tool for increasing the spatiotemporal coverage of OMP data sets is through the active involvement of citizen volunteers to expand the scale of OMP monitoring. Working collaboratively with volunteers from the Citizens Statewide Lake Assessment Program (CSLAP), we conducted the first statewide study on OMP occurrence in surface waters of New York lakes. Samples collected by CSLAP volunteers were analyzed for OMPs by a suspect screening method based on mixed-mode solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry. Sixty-five OMPs were confirmed and quantified in samples from 111 lakes across New York. Hierarchical clustering of OMP occurrence data revealed the relevance of 11 most frequently detected OMPs for classifying the contamination status of lakes. Partial least squares regression and multiple linear regression analyses prioritized three water quality parameters linked to agricultural and developed land uses (i.e., total dissolved nitrogen, specific conductance, and a wastewater-derived fluorescent organic matter component) as the best combination of predictors that partly explained the interlake variability in OMP occurrence. Lastly, the exposure-activity ratio approach identified the potential for biological effects associated with detected OMPs that warrant further biomonitoring studies. Overall, this work demonstrated the feasibility of incorporating citizen science approaches into the regional impact assessment of OMPs.

“…Partnership among tribes and nontribal entities can be successful. Several Minnesota tribes, the University of Minnesota, and federal and state agency collaborators led efforts to sustainably manage wild rice in the Midwest (Matson et al, 2021), evaluate the zoonotic risk of parasite transmission from wildlife to domestic canids (Bernstein et al, 2021), enhance understanding of factors related to moose calf survival (Van de Vuurst et al, 2021;Wolf et al, 2021), and evaluate contamination by pharmaceuticals in fish, waters, and sediments (Deere et al, 2020(Deere et al, , 2021Servadio et al, 2021). These efforts provide examples where Indigenous people, with unified culturally-based goals, partnered with multiple groups and governments, ultimately leading to improving the state of knowledge in support of traditional harvest activities consistent with treaty rights.…”

Management strategies for chronic wasting disease (CWD) across tribal lands have varied in response to changing dynamics of CWD risk. As CWD continues to spread across the United States, concerns associated with the disease are increasing. We interviewed 19 natural resource managers representing Anishinaabe and Dakota tribes in Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin with goals of understanding needs and opportunities for CWD engagement, surveillance, and outreach on tribal lands; the implementation of natural resources policy and management across tribal nations; and opportunities for tribal partnership‐development to control CWD. Qualitative data analyses of interview responses revealed substantial variation in the number of tribal hunters, hunter regulation, and huntable tribal lands across our study area. Proximity of tribal lands in relation to CWD detections impacted tribal agency management strategies for CWD. Our results indicate a desire for CWD outreach and surveillance, mutually beneficial collaborations, and a need for incorporating cultural knowledge into CWD management strategies. We conclude that tribal CWD management and surveillance plans will be enhanced through strategic and thoughtful CWD outreach methods. Moreover, partnerships must recognize tribal sovereignty and respectfully integrate tribal values, knowledge, and worldview.
