Funding to our Lake Ontario buoys is in jeopardy!
Our Lake Ontario buoy program may be at risk due to proposed federal budget cuts affecting NOAA programs, including the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS). GLOS provides us with funding to deploy, maintain, and operate three buoys in Lake Ontario as part of the Great Lakes buoy network. Learn more about GLOS and what federal cuts could mean for the leading source for real-time water data in the Great Lakes at this link.
We're gathering input from the public to better understand how our Lake Ontario buoy data are used and valued.
