New on GLIN Archive Overview | New This Month 
Overview Each day as new information is added to the GLIN indices, it is archived here. Current Great Lakes issues, upcoming events, and new Great Lakes-related publications or web sites of interest, are just a sampling of what you'll find in this section. The items are archived monthly.
May 2008 On-line Boating Economic Impact Model (5/16) This system of web-based models allows users to estimate boater spending and the associated economic impacts in terms of jobs, sales, income, and value added associated with the ownership (e.g., craft spending) and use (e.g., trip spending) of different sizes and types of recreational boats. Economic impacts may be estimated for a marina, groups of marinas (eg, in a harbor), a boat access/ launch site, or for all registered power boats and sail boats in a designated region. Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation (5/15) The Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation was founded with the goals of protecting and restoring Lake Huron's coastal environment and promoting a healthy coastal ecosystem. The Coastal Centre is the only grassroots organization focused on protecting the coastal environment lake-wide. 2008 Lake Michigan Exploration Workshop The Centers for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence (5/14) 4th-10th grade teachers and non-formal educators from the Great Lakes region are invited to participate in the Lake Michigan Exploration Workshop, August 2-8, in Chicago. This workshop is designed to promote Great Lakes and ocean sciences in formal and informal education and forge lasting relationships between science researchers and educators. Finger Lakes Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (5/13) This site contains resource materials pertaining to the FL-PRISM, invasive species of the Finger Lakes Region, information on NYS and federal invasive species policies, and information on other PRISMs throughout NYS. International Migratory Bird Day (IMBD) Environment for the Americas (5/12) IMBD officially takes place on the second Saturday in May each year. But because that date doesn't work well for all bird event and bird festival organizers, or for the migratory birds themselves, IMBD is celebrated almost year-round. There are lots of ways to get involved in bird conservation, education, and birdwatching. Take a look! Inland Seas: Understanding and Protecting the Great Lakes (5/8) The goal of this movie is to provide an overview of the concepts of surface and groundwater watersheds and the concept of water diversions. The movie relates these issues to the Great Lakes Compact Agreement and presents ideas on how individuals can make an impact on water use and the policies surrounding water protections Drinking Water Week American Water Works Association (5/6) Drinking Water Week, May 4-10, is a unique opportunity for water professionals and the communities they serve to join together to recognize the vital role water plays in our daily lives. Managing Ecosystems Regulated Rivers and Watersheds St. Lawrence River Institute of Environmental Sciences (5/5) The 15th Annual International Conference on the St. Lawrence River / Great Lakes Ecosystem, May 6-8, in Cornwall, Ontario, will highlight 50 years of hydroelectric power development and the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway on the International Section of the St. Lawrence River. American Wetlands Month U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (5/2) This May will mark the 18th anniversary of American Wetlands Month, a time when EPA and its partners celebrate the vital importance of wetlands to the Nation's ecological, economic, and social health. It is also a great opportunity to discover and teach others about the important role that wetlands play in our environment and the significant benefits they provide. Great Lakes Regional Research Information Network (GLRRIN) GLIN's May 2008 Site of the Month (5/1) Established in 2006 by NOAA Sea Grant, GLIN and regional partners, GLRRIN provides a powerful means to foster collaboration, acquire funding, highlight research needs and issues, and increase the overall impact of Great Lakes research. GLRRIN is a free service and offers research-related news and upcoming events, and profiles of Great Lakes researchers and their current projects.
