The Great Lakes Deserve Great Science - Supporting the development of a Great Lakes Science Plan - From Strategy to Plan

The Great Lakes Deserve Great Science Supporting the development of a Great Lakes Science Plan • The International Joint Commission (IJC) helps Canada and the United States prevent and resolve issues over shared waters on 5,525 miles of boundary, including the Great Lakes. [...] • The IJC Great Lakes Science Advisory Board’s 2022 Great Lakes Science Strategy for the Next Decade (the Science Strategy) identifies the basin’s science gaps and resource needs. [...] • The Great Lakes Science Advisory Board is leading the development of a Great Lakes Science Plan (the Science Plan), which explores how to transform the Science Strategy into an actionable and sustainable plan that coordinates Great Lakes science efforts basinwide. [...] About the Project The Great Lakes Science Plan aims to address the gaps and science needs outlined in the Science Strategy and develop a governance framework for coordinating essential science and surveillance activities to address rapid changes and emerging threats to the Great Lakes.
