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.

Is it true that a shark was once found in the Great Lakes?
from Kristen in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
According to the Great Lakes Fishery Commission, a rumor circulated awhile back that a shark had been found in the Great Lakes. However, no evidence was found to support this rumor. Sharks sometimes enter rivers that empty into the ocean, such as the St. Lawrence River, but they don't stay for long because they can't survive in that environment.
Thank you for your question!
