New partnership will update, enhance important Great Lakes database on non-native species
From: Michigan State University Extension
Michigan State University Extension and Michigan Sea Grant are pleased to announce a new partnership with NOAA’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) and Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research (CIGLR) for management of the Great Lakes Aquatic Nonindigenous Species Information System (GLANSIS). This regional Great Lakes-specific database of aquatic nonindigenous species is a one-stop-shop for information on non-native species within the basin. Making data accessible to researchers, managers, educators, and other stakeholders is an important part of the joint missions of NOAA’s GLERL, CIGLR, and Sea Grant programs.
