This grant from the USGS, offered to a CESU partner, is for research on nutrient dynamics in Lake Ontario’s New York nearshore waters. Its purpose is to understand factors leading to increased nuisance algae and water-quality problems. Building on 2008 nearshore work, this research supports the US and Canadian Lake Ontario Lakewide Management Plan (LaMP). It seeks to clarify the link between tributary nutrient inputs and nearshore water quality. The work should ideally complement LaMP’s 2013 offshore monitoring and USGS’s 2013 enhanced tributary monitoring, aiding a comprehensive understanding of the lake’s ecological health.

Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner to conduct research on nutrient dynamics in Lake Ontarios nearshore waters of New York to help better understand factors that have led to increased nuisance algae and related water-quality problems. This research should expand on nearshore work conducted in 2008 in support of the US and Canadian Lake Ontario Lakewide Management Plan (LaMP) efforts to develop a better understanding of the connection between tributary nutrient inputs and nearshore water quality. Ideally the work of the CESU partner will complement the LaMP¿s 2013 offshore monitoring and research and the USGS¿ 2013 enhanced Lake Ontario tributary monitoring effort. |
