Alewife are the single most important part of the food chain for Lake trout and the stocked salmon in the Great Lakes, which is great for tourism and fishermen in general. Some years, however, they have a population explosion, which creates mass die-offs, that wash up on the beaches in huge piles - which clobbers tourism. A case of taking the good with the bad.

The Great lakes effect the dunes in many ways. One of the ways the great lakes effect the dunes is by simply being great bodies of fresh water filling in the gaps between the dunes. If there were not a lake there wouldn't be a sand dune. Also the wind that the lake creates moves/pushes up the sand. The great lakes can also affect them in ways that are not so good. Like, if there were no marram grass... then the lakes would effect the dunes and the dunes would pretty much crumble and fall apart right under your feet.
