As cleanup and wildlife rescue efforts continue for what is being called the worst oil spill in the Midwest’s history, many of you have asked us for advice on how to get involved. Our great partners in Michigan are already working hard to mitigate damage to the surrounding ecosystem before oil spreads to Lake Michigan. While Shedd Aquarium is assessing how to best support our partners with our resources and animal-handling expertise, we encourage anyone in the Kalamazoo area to follow the recommendations of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources at this time.
