Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is offering a grant to conduct research on the nearshore trophic structure and ecosystem dynamics within its boundaries. This grant is for the purpose of investigating changes in food webs and nutrient cycling, specifically focusing on the impacts related to invasive species. The research aims to understand how the introduction of invasive species affects the delicate balance of the lake’s nearshore environment, including its food sources and nutrient flow. This initiative seeks to provide valuable insights into ecosystem health and inform future conservation strategies for the unique aquatic ecosystems of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

Eligibility
| Eligible Applicants: | Others (see text field entitled “Additional Information on Eligibility” for clarification) |
| Additional Information on Eligibility: | This is a single source award to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Milwaukee, WI. The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (specifically the Great Lakes WATER Institute and the proposed principal investigator) is uniquely qualified to conduct this work. The Institute features broad expertise in aquatic ecology, biogeochemistry, fisheries science, aquatic technology, and environmental health, and also maintains a full service electronics, instrumentation fabrication, and machine shop that can be used to support this work. Further, the proposed principal investigator is a leader in large lakes research, with decades of experience in the North American Great Lakes and Lake Malawi in the African Rift Valley. The PI has conducted long-term monitoring and has published extensively on nutrient cycling and aquatic food web dynamics (both important aspects of the current and future work at SLBE). The PI has maintained a Lake Michigan monitoring station near Milwaukee (similar to the one proposed for SLBE) for many years. The PI is widely recognized for his technical skills in large lake ecology in general, his knowledge of the Lake Michigan ecosystem in particular, and his ability to explain and interpret related scientific results to managers and the public. |
