TL;DR: A retrospective synthesis of past and current nutrient inputs, impairments by planktonic and benthic HABs and hypoxia, modelling and Best Management Practices in the Lake Erie basin demonstrates that phosphorus reduction is of primary importance, but the effects of climate, nitrogen and other factors should also be considered in the context of adaptive management.

TL;DR: The time-dependent stock of PBDEs contained in in-use products (excluding building materials and large vehicles) was estimated for the U.S. and Canada from 1970 to 2020 based on product consumption patterns, PBDE contents, and product lifespan.

TL;DR: Scientists and policy makers need a cohesive framework to evaluate the effectiveness of regulations on mercury emissions in the United States and Canada.

TL;DR: The Ecosystem Responses to Mercury Contamination: Indicators of Change as discussed by the authors outlines the infrastructure and methods needed to measure, monitor, and regulate the effects of mercury contamination in the environment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize projected changes in climate and fish habitat in the Great Lakes and summarize fish responses to climate change in the great lakes; describe key interactions between climate change and other stressors relevant to Great Lakes fish, and summarize how climate change can be incorporated into fisheries management.
