Great Lakes MBON
**Great Lakes** MBON This project will fill a critical gap in science and management of the Great Lakes by creating a BON that uses complementary technological approaches to address interconnections among dynamic pelagic habitats known as “Lakescapes”, biodiversity across the tree of life, movement of key fisheries species, and the role of diversity in supporting ecosystem functions. Partners for GL-MBON include NOAA’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, Great Lakes Observing System (regional IOOS association), Great Lakes CoastWatch node, NOAA National Marine Sanctuaries, Great Lakes Acoustic Telemetry Observation System, Oregon State University, and the Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research.
