Ecological Shifts in Puerto Rico's Freshwater Shrimp Assemblages and Their Impact on Ecosystem Dynamics (2025-03-07)
No full textDr. PJ Torres; College of the Holy Cross; March 7th - 3PM - Lsci 185; Refreshments served in the James P. Riel Atrium at 2:30 pm (Swenson Science Building)Puerto Rico�s freshwater systems are shaped by native shrimp assemblages, which play a crucial role in regulating ecosystem processes and community dynamics. Watershed geomorphology naturally influences their distribution, but large dams can completely extirpate shrimp from entire watersheds, leading to significant disruptions in ecosystem structure and function. The loss of shrimp�s top-down regulatory role causes alterations in benthic algae, organic matter levels, leaf litter decomposition, and nutrient cycling. Additionally, the absence of native shrimp may facilitate the spread of invasive species, such as the Australian red-claw crayfish. In this seminar, I will discuss how these ecological shifts affect Puerto Rico�s freshwater ecosystems and highlight the role of native shrimp in maintaining ecosystem balance.University of Minnesota Duluth.

Community Codes & Ordinances: Powerful Tools for Protecting Our Waters
No full textPoster presented at the 2025 St. Louis River Summit in Superior, Wisconsin.Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) can help improve water quality and reduce flooding, but specific language in local land-use codes and ordinances can unintentionally prohibit or discourage the implementation of many of these practices. Often, language in local codes and ordinances, and norms around site planning practices, contribute to ongoing problems with water quality. Municipalities may desire to move green infrastructure forward, but may be stymied by code language, and in less populous communities, volunteer boards likely do not have the capacity or expertise to evaluate current codes, develop new ones, and shepherd these changes through the amendment process. To support our local communities in increasing adoption of green infrastructure, and other practices that benefit water quality, Minnesota Sea Grant and NRRI have collaborated with communities along Lake Superior’s North Shore to develop a framework allowing for, and promoting, the adoption and installation of green infrastructure to address water quality and quantity concerns. We’ll share with you the lessons learned - what is going well, what needs these communities still have, and how you can get involved - from our time working with the City of Duluth, Midway Township, St. Louis County, Lake County, Cook County and Grand Marais.This poster is a result of work sponsored by the Minnesota Sea Grant College Program, A/2022-RCE-NOAASG-001-Code-Audit, A/2023-RCE-NOAASG-Code-Audit-2, under: NA22OAR4170098 from National Sea Grant, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce, with funds from the state of Minnesota.
