After 10 Years, Great Lakes Monitoring Program Still Adapting
The public knows much more about Great Lakes coastal wetlands than it did ten years ago. 
 
 In those ten years, the information gathered through the Great Lakes Coastal Wetlands Monitoring Program has led to and supported dozens of advances in Great Lakes science while helping nail down the shifting nature of ecosystem health for a vital part of the Great Lakes system. 
 
 “I probably get one or two requests for information a week,” Don Uzarski, director of the program, told Environmental Monitor. 
 
 The program’s most recent semi-annual report lists 40 scientific publications using the collected data. In addition, the data has been used in even more restoration projects, graduate theses and presentations.
