Freshwater Seas: The Great Lakes (Hour 2)

They have provided a seemingly endless supply of natural resources that have helped transform the United States into one of the most powerful nations on Earth. But the story of the Great Lakes over the last few centuries is one of abuse and neglect, where humans have exploited the region’s natural resources and disregarded the long-term effects on the fragile ecosystem.
