Impact/Purpose:

A summary of a summary of a scientific session held at the 2017 North American meeting of the Society for Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry. The engaging discussions that occurred among presenters and the audience frequently spilled from the session auditorium to the coffee breaks and poster socials, highlighting the intense interest within the community for understanding and addressing the impacts of CECs on the Great Lakes. Clearly, there is a need for further investigations and integration of the current findings into a larger framework for modeling the occurrence and biological effects of CECs in the Great Lakes. A key conclusion the audience took from this spotlight session was that much progress has been made to assess the threat caused by CECs on wildlife in the Great Lakes and that natural resource management tools to prioritize sites for further study or bioremediation are on the horizon.
