EPA’s Eye In The Sky: Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, USA

An aerial photo made with a drone shows the entrance from Lake Michigan to the Sturgeon Bay ship canal in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin.

Profound impacts from the loss of ice cover a range from increased severity of lake-effect precipitation, lake stratification, plankton production, and fish egg protection, among others.
