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.

On October 22, 2019, after a multi-year collaborative planning process involving stakeholders, partners, and board members, GLOS released a five-year strategic plan and launched the Smart Great Lakes Initiative. Read the plan here.

GLOS is asking for your help in identifying the major data gaps, data access and sharing challenges, and continuous or emerging needs for improved information that can help in managing major Great Lakes issues. Would you consider sharing your insight?
