We're launching the Smart Great Lakes Initiative as part of our strategic plan for 2020-2025. The initiative exists to modernize an information ecosystem based on Great Lakes environmental data in order to improve understanding, use, and management of the lakes.

Most of the funding GLOS receives is passed through to other organizations and spent directly on programmatic activities that support monitoring, data management, analysis and information development, or other data products and decision-support tools.

Lakebed 2030 is the initiative to build a better basemap of the Great Lakes.
