State matching money needed or St. Louis River National Estuary project dies
91.3 KUWS, Duluth, MN (2/26)
The St. Louis River would be the 28th National Estuarine Research Reserve in the country and the 2nd on the Great Lakes. The reserve would bring in $550,000 in federal grants each year. To get those dollars the state needs to offer a 30% match, or about $236,000 annually.

What is the volume of the Great Lakes,
in both liters and gallons?
from Meike in Sternenfels, Germany, and Jesselyn in Bath, Michigan
There are six quadrillion gallons (that's 6,000,000,000,000,000 gallons) of water in the Great Lakes. You can use http://www.onlineconversion.com/volume.htm to convert that amount to liters for a grand total of nearly 23 quadrillion liters (that's 22,712,470,704,000,000 liters) of water!
