This grant is for the purpose of investigating recent, severe changes observed in the nearshore Lake Michigan ecosystem. The primary objective is to understand the alterations in trophic structure and ecosystem dynamics that have occurred. This study is designed to significantly complement and enhance ongoing Great Lakes Restoration Initiative efforts. Collaboration with key institutions like the USGS Great Lakes Science Center and the Northwestern Michigan College Water Studies Institute is central to this research. The findings will contribute valuable data and insights to the broader understanding of Lake Michigan’s ecological health and inform future restoration strategies aimed at mitigating adverse environmental impacts and restoring the lake’s natural balance. The goal is to support a healthier and more resilient nearshore environment.
