About this listen

In this first season of waterbodies: short talks on Lake Ontario, we focus on the 2023 Lake Ontario CSMI. The CSMI, or Cooperative Science and Monitoring Initiative is a binational effort to coordinate monitoring and research activities across the Great Lakes. The goal of the CSMI is to address specific science priorities for each lake, which are established by the Lake Partnerships under the Lakewide Management Annex of the 2012 Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, 4 priority areas for the 2023 Lake Ontario CSMI were identified: chemical contaminants, nutrient and bacterial pollution, habitat and species, and invasive species.


Hosted by Dr. Roxanne Razavi, Assistant Professor, Environmental Biology, SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry.
