Event Title
Great Lakes Center participates in EPA’ Long-Term Biological Monitoring of Great Lakes
Start Date
31-10-2013 11:00 AM
Description
Great Lakes Center in collaboration with Cornell University was awarded a US EPA Great Lakes Long-term Biological Monitoring grant in 2012. The EPA Monitoring Program is designed to provide managers access to biological data on zooplankton and benthos to support decision-making. During this project we will collect benthos (Buffalo State), zooplankton, and chlorophyll data (Cornell University) across the five Great Lakes from 2013 to 2017, analyze this data and make it available to environmental and fisheries managers. Additional research projects include evaluation of early detection system for invasives, and evaluation of biotic indices of ecosystem health. We already started identifying benthic samples collected in 2012, and in August 2013 collected over 200 benthic samples from all Great Lakes onboard of EPA R/V Lake Guardian.
