Re: Looking for Research Vessel for African Delegation Tour June 12, 2009

Mark,

The Lake Guardian is scheduled to be
on the western end of Lake Erie on June 12th.  Therefore, we'll not
be able to offer the tour to the African Delegation.  

Regards,

Greetings Science Vessel Operators
– Please let John Gannon know if you have any ideas or suggestions regarding
Great Lakes research vessels that may be in the vicinity of the eastern
end of Lake Erie or western end of Lake Ontario on Friday, June 12th;
that might be able to accommodate a couple hour tour and research demonstration
for the 12-15 person African delegation.  - Thanks! 
 
Mark Burrows

Subject: Inquiry for the GLASS list serve
 
Inquiry on Research Vessel Availability
for African Delegation Tour.  The Great Lakes Fishery Commission
and International Joint Commission jointly are involved in a project of
science, resource management and policy exchange with the transboundary
commissions addressing similar issues and problems on the East African
Great
Lakes.  The project is “twinning” the relatively new international
commissions on lakes Victoria and Tanganyika.  The first workshop
was held last fall on the shores of Lake Victoria at Entebbe, Uganda.  For
the second workshop, an African delegation is coming to Canada this June.
 Specifically, the second workshop will be held, June 14-15, 2009
in conjunction with the Boundary Waters Treaty Celebration on June 13th
in Niagara Falls, ON.  Will a Great Lakes research vessel be in the
vicinity of the eastern
end of Lake Erie or western end of Lake Ontario on Friday, June 12th
 and able to accommodate a couple hour tour and demonstration for
the 12-15 person African delegation?  The delegation will only have
Canadian visas and will not be able to travel to the U.S.  Please
contact John Gannon if you think you might be able to accommodate this
request. 
Thank you.
