SUMMARY:2026 Great Lakes Regional Learning Exchange
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our second Great Lakes Regional Learning Exchange\, a free\, day-long event designed to build the capacity of organizations working to protect and restore the Great Lakes. This gathering brings together community leaders\, nonprofit professionals\, and regional experts to foster collaboration\, share knowledge\, and strengthen the skills needed to access and manage federal funding successfully.   \nMeals will be provided\, and all sessions are free and open to those committed to advancing locally led environmental solutions across the Great Lakes region.   \nTentative Agenda:\n8:30 AM – 9:30 AM | Registration & Coffee  \n9:30 AM – 9:45 AM | Welcome & Opening Remarks \n9:45 AM – 10:45 AM | Opening Plenary \nConnecting Land\, Water\, and Community \nTribal Nations have called the Great Lakes region home for generations. As the original stewards of these lands and waters\, Indigenous communities hold generations of knowledge rooted in relationships with local waterways\, ecosystems\, wildlife\, and cultural landscapes.  \nThis opening plenary will ground the Learning Exchange in Indigenous knowledge and local perspectives\, exploring how knowledge\, traditions\, and lived experiences shape relationships with the Great Lakes and inform stewardship and restoration. By beginning with Indigenous voices and perspectives\, the session will establish a foundation of place\, relationship\, respect\, and shared responsibility for the Great Lakes Regional Learning Exchange.  \n11:00 AM – 12:15 PM | Breakout Sessions \nSession Option A\nImplementing Workforce Development into Environmental Restoration \nEnvironmental restoration projects can create opportunities not only to improve ecosystems\, but also to build skills\, strengthen local economies\, and create pathways into environmental careers. This session will explore practical approaches for integrating workforce development into restoration projects and programs. Participants will hear about strategies for creating meaningful training and employment opportunities\, developing partnerships with workforce and educational organizations\, and connecting community members to restoration-related career pathways. The session will also highlight lessons learned and considerations for organizations interested in incorporating workforce development into their current or future environmental restoration efforts.  \n Session Option B\nBuilding Effective Grant Management Systems \nStrong grant management is built on well-designed organizational systems that support the day-to-day administration of grant-funded projects. This session will focus on the functional components of an effective grant management system. Participants of this session will explore practical approaches for organizing these functions using existing tools and processes\, while identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce administrative burden. This session will help participants evaluate their current grant management practices and develop systems that support successful implementation of grant awards.  \n12:15 PM – 1:30 PM | Lunch and Networking\n1:30 PM – 2:45 PM | Breakout Sessions \nSession Option A\nFostering Authentic Relationships + Building Partnerships \nStrong environmental restoration efforts are built on relationships rooted in trust\, shared goals\, and meaningful community participation. This session will explore approaches for developing and sustaining authentic partnerships among community-based organizations\, Tribal and Indigenous organizations\, government agencies\, nonprofits\, funders\, and other regional partners. Participants will discuss strategies for identifying potential partners\, establishing shared expectations\, navigating differences in organizational capacity and priorities\, and moving relationships beyond transactional or grant-specific partnerships. The session will also highlight how intentional relationship-building can strengthen community engagement and expand organizational capacity while supporting sustainable environmental outcomes.   \nSession Option B\nDeveloping Effective Grant Budget Narratives: Aligning Costs with Project Goals \nA strong budget narrative is more than a financial requirement; it is a critical tool for demonstrating how project resources support proposed activities and expected outcomes. Participants will learn practical strategies for translating project work plans into realistic cost estimates\, justifying personnel\, contractual\, equipment\, travel\, and other direct costs\, and ensuring alignment between the budget\, scope of work\, and funding requirements. The session will also explore common budgeting challenges and techniques for building budgets that are both compliant and adaptable throughout the grant lifecycle.  \n3:00 PM – 4:00 PM | Closing Plenary \nCommunity Conservation: Philanthropy and Government Funding \nThis interactive closing plenary will center the experiences of community-based organizations advancing conservation and restoration across the Great Lakes region. Participating organizations will highlight one project from their work as a tangible example of how community priorities\, partnerships\, and funding come together to support on-the-ground restoration. Through these examples\, panelists will explore how philanthropic and government funding supports community-driven conservation\, including strategies for navigating different funding sources\, challenges and gaps in accessing and sustaining resources\, lessons learned\, and opportunities to strengthen long-term investment in locally driven conservation and restoration efforts.  \n4:00 PM – 4:15 PM | Closing Remarks & Adjournment\n4:15 PM – 5:00 PM | Conclusion & Networking\n  \nTarget Audience:\nThis event is designed for community-based organizations\, nonprofit leaders\, and program staff working to advance positive environmental outcomes in Great Lakes communities. Whether part of a small or emerging nonprofit new to federal funding\, or an established organization looking to strengthen your grant management infrastructure\, the Learning Exchange offers valuable training and peer learning opportunities. The event also welcomes tribal and Indigenous organizations\, local government partners\, technical assistance providers\, and regional coalitions committed to building community capacity and driving restoration efforts across the Great Lakes region.   \nAccommodations & Travel Stipends:\nThe Great Lakes Regional Learning Exchange will take place in Cleveland’s University Circle neighborhood.

SUMMARY:Congressional Estuaries Caucus Harmful Algal Bloom Briefing
DESCRIPTION:We look forward to welcoming you to today’s briefing on Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) and their growing impacts on U.S. estuaries and coastal communities. \nTODAY 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM\nRayburn House Office Building 2253\nOpen to congressional staff and members of the public\nThis timely discussion will feature remarks from the Congressional Estuary Caucus Co-Chairs Rep. Bonamici\, Rep. Haridopolos\, and Rep. Larsen as well as a thoughtful dicsussion led by Mike De Luca\, Director of the Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve and panelists: \n\nChristine Tang\, President\, EarthCorps\nKatherine Schake\, Manager\, Kachemak Bay Reserve (AK)\nKatherine Hubbard\, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Fish and Wildlife Research Institute\, HAB Task Force Chair\n\nThey will highlight the increasing frequency and severity of HABs across the country and their impacts on public health\, fisheries\, recreation\, and local economies. Harmful algal blooms occur when colonies of algae grow out of control and produce toxic or otherwise harmful effects on people\, fish\, shellfish\, marine mammals\, birds\, and pets. \nEvery U.S. coastal and Great Lakes state experiences HABs.\nThis nationwide threat affects drinking water supplies\, commercial and recreational fisheries\, tourism\, and community health. The briefing will also discuss the federal role in HAB response and prevention\, including coordination among federal agencies\, states\, municipalities\, and private citizens. \nWhat is a harmful algal bloom?\n\n\n\n\n\nHarmful algal blooms\, or HABs\, occur when colonies of algae — simple plants that live in the sea and freshwater — grow out of control and produce toxic or harmful effects on people\, fish\, shellfish\, marine mammals and birds. The human illnesses caused by HABs\, though rare\, can be debilitating or even fatal. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRanging from microscopic\, single-celled organisms to large seaweeds\, algae are simple plants that form the base of food webs. Sometimes\, however\, their roles are more sinister. Under the right conditions\, algae may grow out of control — and a few of these “blooms” produce toxins that can kill fish\, mammals and birds\, and may cause human illness or even death in extreme cases. Other algae are nontoxic\, but eat up all of the oxygen in the water as they decay\, clog the gills of fish and invertebrates\, or smother corals and submerged aquatic vegetation. Still others discolor water\, form huge\, smelly piles on beaches or contaminate drinking water. Collectively\, these events are called harmful algal blooms\, or HABs. \n\nHarmful Algal Blooms Impact Everyone\nThese blooms are a national concern because they affect not only the health of people and marine ecosystems\, but also the “health” of our economy — especially coastal communities dependent on the income of jobs generated through fishing and tourism. These blooms occur in fresh and salt water alike\, wreaking havoc on drinking water\, fisheries\, and outdoor recreation as the unsafe water poses a health risk to people and pets. With climate change and increasing nutrient pollution potentially causing HABs to occur more often and in locations not previously affected\, it’s important for us to learn as much as we can about how and why they form and where they are\, so that we can reduce their harmful effects. \nWhat can be done?\nOn the federal level\, management of harmful algal blooms requires close coordination between municipal\, state\, and federal bodies\, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)\, the US Environmental Protection Agency\, the Food and Drug Administration\, the US Geological Survey\, and the Centers for Disease Control to monitor and address health risks.
