Great Lakes loon deaths draw Canadian media attention

The carcasses of hundreds of dead loons have washed up on the shores of the Great Lakes in recent months, and necropsies on the birds do not explicitly say what is killing one of the country's national symbols.

The answer continues to be clear:  "Geoff Peach of the Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation said that the United States and Canada need to enforce strict regulations governing ballast water management.."

Michigan remains the only Great Lakes jurisdiction with anything approaching 'strict regulations governing ballast water management.' Where is the outrage, and more importantly, the action to choke off the disruption of the Lakes?
