Community science on the agenda in the Great Lakes
Since DataStream began in 2016, we have focused on amplifying the important work of community-based monitoring groups. We’re excited that community science has been a central theme at the many gatherings we’ve attended over the past few months throughout the Great Lakes region.
Paddling and protecting the Madawaska
For the past four years, Madawaska Kanu Centre’s office team have been tracking the river’s water quality. Once a month, unless the conditions are too icy, they measure parameters like pH levels, dissolved oxygen and transparency.
Better Data Means Better Decisions
Communities can drive the data-to-policy cycle. Great Lakes DataStream is designed to support this.
Monitoring Groups
Communities are connected to their waters and best-placed to see changes as they happen.
Open Data
DataStream provides a place to store, share, and compare water monitoring data across watersheds.
Interpretation & Knowledge
Open data advances scientific knowledge, supports collaboration, and fuels innovation.
Policy & Action
Knowledge can be translated into action to protect the health of watersheds on which we all depend.
