Programs
and Projects
Great
Lakes Research Consortium
The Great Lakes Research Consortium
consists of 16 colleges and universities in New York
State and nine affiliated schools in Ontario. GLRC
programs help to promote collaborative research on
the Great Lakes.
Lake
Erie Binational Public Forum
The Forum provides input on the Lake
Erie Lakewide Management Plan (LaMP), which aims
to restore and protect the beneficial uses of the
lake.

Erie Lakewide Management Plan
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO)
The LaMP provides a framework
for agencies, organizations and individuals to coordinate
activities that they are already working on, and
to propose new activities to improve the environmental
quality of Lake Erie.
Lake
Erie: Tracking Depletion of Dissolved Oxygen
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO)
Of all the Great Lakes, Erie has
been the most severely impacted by many years of
heavy loadings of phosphorus from human activity.
This site provides background on the Phosphorus-Oxygen
link and annual surveys that track the occurrence,
degree, timing and trend of oxygen depletion in the
Lake Erie central basin.
Lower
Great Lakes Erosion Study
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers -
Buffalo District
The goal of this study is to develop
tools for the assessment of local and regional impacts
associated with coastal projects in the lower Great
Lakes.
New
York Sea Grant
Focuses the talents of university
scientists and extension specialists on research
in the areas of fisheries, coastal environmental
quality and processes, invasive species, non-point
source pollution and seafood safety.
