The Community's Role in Designing a Great Lakes Observing System 
by Jen Read, Executive Director
The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) is providing greatly needed
resources for restoring and protecting the region's ecosystems. With this
increase in resources allocated to restoration efforts comes the obligation
to ensure that the region is adequately tracking the impact of these
efforts.    <http://glos.us/updates/2011/lakeviews_v9.html#story1> More...

Alexandria Bay, N.Y., to get initial input from the boating community in the
Upper St. Lawrence River area about the type of information they use when
deciding to spend the day out on the water.
