The Department of the Interior is offering the Great Lakes Remote Sensing Grant for an ongoing project in partnership with the University of Minnesota, Michigan Tech University, and SharedGeo. This grant focuses on using remote sensing technologies to monitor and map changes across the Great Lake Basin, specifically targeting wetland and habitat changes over time. With the unique federal/university partnership, these universities hold essential satellite imagery and algorithms necessary for the project. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service plays a substantial role in guiding product development and securing federal resources for this binational effort aimed at restoring and overseeing the Great Lakes system.

Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Fish and Wildlife Service |
| Description: | This is a continuing 2018 Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and a notice of intent to award single source cooperative agreements to the University of Minnesota and Michigan Tech University, and to SharedGeo without competition under justification 505DM 2.14.B. (1), (2), & (4) for an on-going project to operationally monitor and map changes using remote sensing technologies across the Great Lake Basin. These universities are unique to this project since they hold the satellite imagery and algorithms being used in this project through a unique federal/university partnership which would be infeasible through any other approach. Both universities and SharedGeo have demonstrated unique and complimentary technical and computing features to accomplish the main goal of the project with is wetland and habitat changes over time. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has substantial involvement since it is 1) guiding the product development on behalf of our conservation partners; 2) acting as the federal link to requesting future satellite imagery collects that would be impossible at a state or local scale since we are using federally licensed commercial satellite imagery; 3) the federal partner to an MOU with Natural Resources Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada on behalf of this binational effort to restore and oversee the Great Lakes system. |
