So, an update from my #GreatLakes Food-webs team out on the CCGS Limnos. They have been very busy collecting water and zooplankton across the still very green western basin of Lake Erie (even into October) the past two days, but still had the chance to enjoy some views including passing under the now connected Gordie Howe International Bridge linking Windsor and Detroit, and seeing some amazing sunrises and sunsets. 12 stations down another 16 to go.

Because access to a ship like the Limnos is so valuable, we are again sharing this cruise with Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) technical operations group who are servicing and retrieving #GreatLakes #science moorings and meteorological buoys. These are very important instruments used binationally by Canada and US agencies such as NOAA for forecasting not only weather, but also #hypoxia and algal blooms. Dreissena mussels cover these. Many buoys to collect so deck space gets tight!
