A searchable database on the Lower Great Lakes has been developed by the Great Lakes Program at UB and New York Sea Grant. Its purpose is to provide researchers, legislators, staff members, agency representatives, administrators, Sea Grant extension staff and students with resources and contacts for joint projects and collaborations involved with Great Lakes management and protection. The database was developed specifically to provide the recently organized New York Coalition of Great Lakes Legislators with useable reference tools that they could easily access in order to better understand the players and policies that influence Great Lakes management issues.
