“Shared Waters, Shared Responsibility: Bringing Great Lakes freshwater data together”
Meghan McLeod, Data Specialist, The Gordon Foundation
Thursday, April 30th at 1pm EST / 10am PST
Across Canada, diverse organizations, from community-based monitoring programs to federal agencies, are gathering valuable water quality data to inform local freshwater decisions. By connecting datasets in an accessible, open format, we can gain a more comprehensive understanding of our water quality that is far beyond the scope of one individual monitoring program. In this free webinar, Meghan McLeod will share insights into the value of open data sharing and how data leveraged on platforms like DataStream can help everyone better understand and protect fresh water across Canada.
