Always nice to see the crew return safely to the Canada Centre for Inland Waters in Burlington from the monthly #Toronto #StCatharines #LakeOntario sampling done for the 2023 Collaborative Science and Monitoring Initiative #CSMI. 6 stations, 140 km! Long day and a little rough on the lake, but our biologists and #uwaterloo coop students toughed it out. We collected #plankton to study lower #foodwebs and water for chemistry and to measure algae and bacteria growth rates. #GreatLakes
