Practical Water Wisdom: Harmful Algae Blooms and Climate Change
Join Itasca Waters and Minnesota Sea Grant in learning about how climate change plays a role in harmful algae blooms (HABs) as part of the Itasca Water Wisdom online webinar series, co-sponsored by MNSG.
Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, present a complex management challenge in lakes because they can rapidly form dense surface scums, or blooms, that are difficult to predict. Under the right conditions and with the right types of cyanobacteria, cyanobacteria blooms can become harmful when certain cyanobacteria strains produce potent toxins that make people sick and can kill pets and wildlife. Worldwide, cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms (cHABs) are anticipated to become more prevalent, more frequent, and more severe under future climate and land use scenarios. While cHABs have long been known to occur in warm water, nutrient-rich lakes, such as those in southern Minnesota, their expansion into colder, low-nutrient lakes of northern Minnesota, including recent occurrences of cyanobacteria blooms…

Practical Water Wisdom: Managing Stormwater Runoff on Your Shoreland Property & Minimizing Your Impacts
Join Itasca Waters and Minnesota Sea Grant (MNSG) in learning about how to manage stormwater runoff on shoreline properties as part of the Itasca Water Wisdom online webinar series, co-sponsored by MNSG.
Stormwater runoff refers to rainwater or melting snow that flows over land surfaces without infiltrating the ground. In natural landscapes, much of this water is absorbed by soil and vegetation. However, on shoreland properties with impervious surfaces like rooftops, driveways, landscaped areas and compacted soils, the water cannot penetrate the ground, leading to increased runoff. Unchecked stormwater runoff from shoreland properties can contribute to water pollution, erosion and flooding.
This presentation will discuss what individual shoreland property owners can do to prevent, minimize, and mitigate stormwater runoff from their property and discuss research into future trends.
This webinar is free and open to the public, but advance registration is required.

Our first instinct when we fail, suffer, or feel inadequate may be to criticize or to judge ourselves—but there is a better way to get through life’s hardships, says Dr. Kristin Neff. A way that enables us to achieve our highest potential and lead more contented, fulfilling lives. And that’s through self-compassion.
Some people fear self-compassion is a form of self-pity, and obsessively chase high self-esteem instead—their self-worth fluctuating with every success and failure. But research shows us that people who are self-compassionate lead healthier, happier, more productive lives than those who are self-critical. These people also have the resilience needed to cope with traumatic or stressful life events such as divorce, parenting, or the pressures at work.
In this talk, she walks audiences through practices designed to increase motivation, foster grit and growth mindset, and rebound from failure, all through the cultivation of self-compassion.
