Lake Erie Millennium Network

Formed in 1998, the Lake Erie Millennium Network is a series of events that deal with Lake Erie environmental issues. Lake Erie is in a stage of transition, reflecting human and environmental influences simultaneously acting on a poorly understood system. Managers and the public wish to know how best to use and preserve this resource while scientists want to understand the underlying processes involved in these changes. The Network’s goals are to: summarize the current status of Lake Erie, document research and management needs, and develop a framework for a binational research network to ensure coordinated collection and dissemination of data.
