Great Lakes Biology Monitoring Program: Zooplankton, Mysis, and Benthic Invertebrate Components
This grant funds the monitoring of zooplankton, Mysis, and benthic invertebrates in the Great Lakes.
About this program
The Great Lakes Biology Monitoring Program focuses on the assessment and monitoring of key biological components within the Great Lakes ecosystem, specifically targeting zooplankton, Mysis, and benthic invertebrates. This program is designed to provide critical data that can inform conservation efforts and ecological research in the region. It is aimed at researchers, environmental organizations, and governmental agencies involved in aquatic biology and ecosystem management. Participants in the program will collect and analyze biological samples to track changes in species composition and abundance over time. The data gathered will be essential for understanding the health of the Great Lakes and the impacts of environmental changes on aquatic life. By engaging various stakeholders, the program seeks to foster collaboration and enhance the scientific understanding of these vital ecosystems.
Eligibility
Eligible entities include research institutions, environmental organizations, and governmental agencies focused on aquatic biology.
