密歇根新闻广播 住在大湖岛上是什么滋味

 

There are about 32,000 islands in the Great Lakes. About 30 of them have year-round residents¹, people who stick it out through the long winter.

Now, Great Lakes islanders are banding together.

They're creating a coalition² to work together to solve the challenges they share in common. The coalition was featured in Michigan Radio's Environment Report today.

Reporter Rebecca Williams joined Stateside to explain the challenges of island life, and the new coalition's goals.
