    Superior's Sister

    In this final episode, Shon Schooler from the National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) explains the goals of this exciting new project at St. Louis River estuary. The St. Louis River is the largest American river that flows into Lake Superior, and has been an important transportation hub for many decades. University of Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute has helped sponsor much research in this estuary, including the new research being conducted by Emily Stanley and graduate student Luke Loken on sediment deposition in the estuary. They talk about the goals of their ambitious research project, and then University of Wisconsin Sea Grant science communicator Marie Zhuikov closes the series with a poem about the intertwined symbiotic relationship between Lake Superior and the St. Louis River Estuary.
