Get ready for a great conversation as we sit down with Matt Herbert, Senior Conservation Scientist with The Nature Conservancy. Matt is helping reshape the Great Lakes—literally—by rebuilding spawning reefs and restoring the once-thriving lake whitefish populations that depend on them.
In this episode, we break down the surprising science behind reef construction, the challenges facing whitefish today, and the massive impact habitat restoration can have on an entire ecosystem. Matt brings the passion, the expertise, and the stories that make conservation feel tangible and thrilling.
Whether you’re a fisheries nerd, a Great Lakes lover, or just someone who appreciates a good comeback story, this episode delivers. Plug in and discover how small stones and big ideas are transforming the future of our freshwater world.
