GLIN==> Large Aquatic Ecosystems workshop at Exchange Network National Mtg

Announcing a half-day workshop on Large Aquatic Ecosystems at the 
Exchange Network National Meeting.

The Exchange Network National Meeting will take place in Chicago on 
April 20-22, 2010. As part of this meeting, a half-day workshop on Large 
Aquatic Ecosystems will be held involving experts from programs 
throughout the country. This workshop will actively explore specific 
opportunities for the National Environmental Information Exchange 
Network (aka Exchange Network) to provide tools and approaches that can 
help ecosystem stewards manage and gain access to the right information 
when it's needed. The workshop will also be an opportunity for the large 
aquatic ecosystem community to report from the trenches on exactly what 
challenges they are facing and what the EN needs to do to be relevant.

Management and protection of large aquatic ecosystems requires extensive 
information about the environment. Accessing, aggregating, and managing 
the right information from often disparate data sources poses a 
significant challenge for ecosystem managers. A wide variety of Exchange 
Network resources, such as schemas, nodes, data standards and other 
tools, are offered at no charge to users from the website -
