Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Monitoring Program

The Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Monitoring Program involves the monitoring of Great Lakes coastal wetland biota (fish, birds, anurans, aquatic macroinvertebrates) and habitat (vegetation, water quality) to provide information on coastal wetland condition for use in conservation and management decision-making. The main outputs from this program are a thorough assessment of the condition of over 1000 Great Lakes coastal wetlands and the implementation of a standardized long-term monitoring program for coastal wetlands across the Great Lakes basin. This program is funded under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and Great Lakes National Program Office. The Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS) of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has been involved in the program since 2011, and over that time has conducted fish, vegetation, aquatic macroinvertebrates and water quality surveys primarily on the Canadian shore of Lake Ontario. Program data are available by request at: https://www.greatlakeswetlands.org/ .
