Our data buoys are supported by the Great Lakes Fishery Commission and the Lake Champlain Basin Program. Previous funding was provided by Lake Champlain Sea Grant . You can help us provide more community-shared observations with a tax-deductible donation to our project. Any amount helps! Donate here.

OUR DATA BUOYS HAVE BEEN REMOVED FOR WINTER 2024-25. WE ANTICIPATE REDEPLOYMENT IN 2025
