Abstract

We describe a unique educational collaboration between the U.S. Coast Guard and Bowling Green State University with the goal of engaging Coast Guard crew members in a monitoring program intended to increase both temporal and spatial resolutions of sampling during winter in Lake Erie, a period where extreme weather conditions and safety considerations challenge our ability to sample. © 2010 International Association for Great Lakes Research.
