BGSU gets continued federal funding to monitor Lake Erie water quality
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has awarded BGSU a $349,000 grant to continue monitoring water
quality in Lake Erie using remote sensing technology.
Last year, the University received about $435,000 from the federal agency for the monitoring work, said Dr. Robert Vincent,
geology. Vincent is leading the pilot project, which uses satellite data obtained through remote sensing to monitor cyanobacterial
blooms in the lake. Cyanobacteria are especially harmful algal blooms because they sometimes produce toxins that can sicken
or even kill humans and other mammals, as well as fish.
“It is important that Americans understand that this is not a regional problem—the deterioration of the Great Lakes affects
the country as a whole,” said U.S. Sen. George Voinovich (R-Ohio), who helped secure the NOAA funding through the U.S. Department
of Commerce. Voinovich is a member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.
