The Great Lakes and their waters are the basis for our whole economy, landscape and culture. So keeping them safe and healthy is an important priority. The U of M Water Center must agree, with its recent gift of more than half a million in funding to restoration projects.
Excerpt: The new University of Michigan Water Center today awarded 12 research grants, totaling nearly $570,000, to support Great Lakes restoration and protection efforts.
The two-year grants of up to $50,000 will support diverse projects, including efforts to track the remediation of harmful algae blooms; assess the effectiveness of techniques to control non-native weedy plant invasions; study chromosomal damage in tree swallow nestlings; and monitor fish responses to restoration activities.
