Water QualityThe Wisconsin Sea Grant program is dedicated to enhancing the quality of coastal waters of Lakes Michigan and Superior by developing local capacity to improve and protect water resources and educating Great Lakes basin residents, visitors and decision makers about the causes and consequences of water quality problems. Wisconsin Sea Grant provides science-based information about the sources, transport and fate of contaminants in the Great Lakes, the cause-and-effect relationships between watershed activities and water quality, and the impacts of coastal development on nearshore habitats. |

New EPA Website for Watershed Managers
EPA recently posted a new Web site called "Watershed Central" to help watershed organizations and others find key information they need to manage watersheds. Watershed Central helps users find environmental data, watershed models, nearby local organziations, and guidance documents-and other information depending on the task at hand. Watershed Central also contains links to watershed technical resources and funding, mapping applications to help find information specific to particular watersheds, and includes a "Watershed Central Wiki" that users may use to collaborate.
