Written By Christina Dierkes

The Cooperative Science and Monitoring Initiative (CSMI) is a bi-national effort by the United States and Canada, pursuant to the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, to coordinate Great Lakes research and monitoring activities that provide resource managers with the science necessary to support management decisions.

These two-page summaries introduce the 2017 research projects and results to a larger audience. I worked with the scientists to collect information, wrote the summaries, managed the approval process and collaborated with our web developer to build the Great Lakes CSMI website.
