Historic preservation meets habitat conservation!
On Michiganās Lake St. Clair, about 99.9 % of the shoreline is āhardened,ā meaning concrete slabs and rock piles have been installed to prevent erosion and flooding. But hardened shorelines also remove important fish habitat.

Big news and a moment worth celebrating!
Just 22 days into April, you made it happen. In celebration of Americaās 250th birthday, we set an ambitious goal of 2.50 Million Acts of Science for Citizen Science Month, and citizen scientists around the world didnāt just meet it. You surpassed it.
Hereās what youāve accomplished so far:
šMore than 200,000 volunteers across 159 countries have completed 2.50 MILLION Acts of Science through 413 citizen science projects and 285 eventsā¦ and counting!
šIn 22 days, #CitizenScienceMonth, #SciStarter, and #ActsofScience have been mentioned more than 3,000 times, inspiring over 91,100 people to engage and help spread the movement to more than 9 million people worldwide.
And weāre not done yet.
Join us for our final Acts of Science: Connected event on April 29th with @NASA @DoNASAScience and @the_zooniverse, or discover more ways to participate at CitizenScienceMonth.org.
Keep the momentum going all year long. Invite friends, family, and colleagues to join SciStarter at SciStarter.org to find local events and projects happening near you and around the world.
Weāll share final numbers and celebrate everything weāve achieved together on May 1.
Congratulations, team. Youāve made this Citizen Science Month and this Earth Day truly extraordinary.
Cheers!

Did you know that many USFWS employees are military veterans? Some even continue to serve in Reserve & National Guard units.
As Veterans Day approaches, we would like to thank each one of them & honor their service to our nation.
