This grant is for developing a robust protocol to monitor environmental contaminants within the Great Lakes region, specifically targeting six National Parks. The initiative, spearheaded by the National Park Service, aims to establish a standardized method for assessing ecological health. The protocol will strategically utilize fish and dragonfly larvae as crucial indicator species, allowing for a sensitive and early detection of various environmental pollutants. This effort is vital for ensuring the long-term ecological integrity and successful restoration of these critical national park ecosystems within the Great Lakes, safeguarding their biodiversity and natural resources for future generations. It underscores a commitment to scientific-based environmental stewardship.

| Additional Information on Eligibility: | This is a Notice of Intent to award Monitor Contaminants at Six National Parks to Great Lakes and Northern Forests CESU, University of Wisconsin La Crosse. This is a continuation of an ongoing research project as follows: A team of investigators from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse (cooperator or partner) and the NPS Great Lakes Inventory and Monitoring Network (NPS-GLKN) are in the second year of a five-year cooperative agreement. The agreement is focused on developing a protocol for monitoring environmental contaminants with fish and dragonfly larvae as indicator species. The project has gone extremely well, however, initial funding provided too few samples for determining a statistically sound baseline from which to determine long-term trends. The additional funding from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative is specifically for the purpose of increasing sample size for completing this monitoring protocol at six parks in the Great Lakes Network. Hence this task is a furtherance of the original agreement. |
