It will measure the economic impacts and assess the perceived social and environmental impacts of these activities. This study employed questionnaires with snowmobilers and cross country skiers and survey local residents in Cook County, Minnesota. An understanding of the differences between motor sports (snowmobiling) and a quiet sport (cross country skiing) is useful in planning future development, minimizing negative impacts, and improving marketing decisions.Item Cook County Winter Trail-based Visitor Study(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2003) Kreag, Glenn M; McTavish, Donald GMinnesota Sea Grant and the University of Minnesota Duluth Bureau of Business and Economic Research conducted the Cook County Winter Trail-based Visitor Study in the last quarter of 2002 (an atypical winter with little snow). Research assistants contacted a random sample of 162 households in Cook County, MN, by phone. A random adult in the home was asked a short set of questions about visitors who cross-country (x-c) ski and snowmobile in Cook County (65% cooperation). Additionally, 96 randomlychosen Cook County hospitality businesses were interviewed using the same questions (53% cooperation). The 51 business respondents and the residents, broken into two groups of 31 business owners or managers, and 74 non-business respondents, did not differ much in their perceptions of winter visitors. However, statistically significant differences in views are seen between respondents when grouped by their winter recreation participation (ski only, snowmobile only, both, and neither).Item Green Stormwater Infrastructure Code Audits: Updating Local Regulatory Structures for a Changing Climate(2024-03) Carlson, Jessy R; Hinds, Juli Beth; Rodman, Madison G; Sprague, Tiffany AThe impacts of climate change, such as increasingly intense storms and more frequent floods, mean regulatory frameworks designed to manage stormwater runoff in previous decades may no longer be effective; codes and ordinances may inadvertently prohibit or inhibit the use of nature-based approaches to managing stormwater runoff. To adapt to current and projected climate change scenarios, local governments need updated regulatory frameworks that effectively manage stormwater runoff in a changed climate. Adapting local regulations to promote systematic use of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) and other nature-based solutions is a key strategy that can contribute to the development of resilient, climate-adapted communities. We worked with ten urban and rural municipalities across the Duluth area to conduct code audits and assist with designing and accomplishing community-specific GSI objectives, and we are currently expanding this project to include Lake and Cook Counties. These participating communities display a diverse array of geographical and demographic characteristics. However, after working with these communities’ technical staff and elected representatives to assess their regulatory structures and internal policies for areas that could be updated to prepare for increased heavy precipitation events, we have noted some important themes regarding needs, challenges, and opportunities that cut across the region. This poster will share what we are hearing from these communities and whether these themes point to emerging climate adaptation needs in Northeast Minnesota.Item Historic Lake Superior & Minnesota's North Shore (2004)(2004) Minnesota Sea GrantItem Lacustrine Lessons (1980-09 and 10)(1980-09) Minnesota Sea Grant Extension ProgramItem Lacustrine Lessons (1980-11 and 12)(1980-11) Minnesota Sea Grant Extension ProgramItem Lacustrine Lessons (1981-01 and 02)(1981-01) Minnesota Sea Grant Extension ProgramItem Lacustrine Lessons (1981-03 and 04)(1981-03) Minnesota Sea Grant Extension ProgramItem Lacustrine Lessons (1981-05 and 06)(1981-05) Minnesota Sea Grant Extension ProgramItem Lacustrine Lessons (1981-09 and 10)(1981-09) Minnesota Sea Grant Extension ProgramItem Lacustrine Lessons (1981-11 and 12)(1981-11) Minnesota Sea Grant Extension ProgramItem Lacustrine Lessons (1982-01 and 02)(1982-01) Minnesota Sea Grant Extension ProgramItem Lacustrine Lessons (1982-03 and 04)(1982-03) Minnesota Sea Grant Extension ProgramItem Lacustrine Lessons (1982-05 and 06)(1982-05) Minnesota Sea Grant Extension ProgramItem Lacustrine Lessons (1982-09 and 10)(1982-09) Minnesota Sea Grant Extension ProgramItem Lacustrine Lessons (1982-11 and 12)(1982-11) Minnesota Sea Grant Extension ProgramItem Lacustrine Lessons (1983-01 and 02)(1983-01) Minnesota Sea Grant Extension Program
