The 2024 issue of Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant’s magazine, The Helm, is now available. This annual publication is a collection of program research, outreach and education success stories, as well as ongoing activities to address coastal concerns. This issue describes IISG-funded research to help reduce drownings in Lake Michigan, especially for Black youth, introduces a community planning approach to assess the value of natural environments, and reflects on our 14-year intern program. 

Here are some headlines from this issue:

  • Swimming Safer: Sharing knowledge, data, and resources
  • IISG interns can have invaluable real-world experiences
  • Spelling out nature’s benefits helps inform land use decisions
  • Largemouth bass in the busy Chicago River are seeking out natural areas
  • We’re funding new research to address emerging coastal issues
