This project supports the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) and the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, pursuant to Clean Water Act, Section 118(c)(7), as amended by Public Law 114-322, to protect and restore the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Great Lakes Basin ecosystem.

The Great Lakes Biology Monitoring Program (GLBMP): Zooplankton, Mysis, and Benthos components benefits federal, state, and tribal fisheries and water quality managers by focusing on whole-lake responses to changes in loads of anthropogenic substances, and more recently, aquatic invasive species.

Specifically, this project will assess and investigate the ecological health of the Great Lakes by sampling and analyzing the community structure of the biota.
