Last episode, Tanya Cabala took us through the geologic, social and political histories of Michigan's globally special freshwater dunes. That last bit of history, the political, has recently not been too pretty.

Emily Smith of the Michigan Environmental Council joins us in this episode to expound upon that. She'll go over how recent changes have put both dunes and nearby communities at risk and how new legislation can make both nature and society thrive together.
