The Great Lakes are home to 20% of the world's freshwater and are 
significant from ecological, economic, and public health perspectives. 
With over 600 recreational beaches in the Basin and 40 million Americans 
and Canadians relying on the waters of the Great Lakes as their primary 
source of drinking water, understanding and predicting human health 
risks associated with exposure or consumption of contaminated water 
requires an integrated multidisciplinary scientific approach. Ecosystem 
forecasting can mediate this problem by allowing beach managers, water 
quality experts, and public health policy makers to provide the public 
with accurate predictions of when and where waterborne microbial 
pathogens and toxins could affect human health. This session will bring 
together researchers developing tools to predict and reduce human health 
impacts associated with beach contamination, harmful algal blooms, and 
drinking water quality in the Great Lakes.
