Coastal Management Program Detroit River Coastal Zone
The purpose of this grant-funded project from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, Coastal Zone Management Program, will be for a planning and design study that will be used to define the environmental monitoring and educational interpretive areas at the project site. This will allow the public to have year-round access to learning opportunities about natural processes and the effects of anthropogenic changes of the Great Lakes. This grant would be a catalyst to future expansion and enhancements of the environmental monitoring station and educational facilities by creating the concept and preparing a report which will identify needs for acquisition of instrumentation/displays etc. The results of the design/planning report will be used to assist in acquiring instrumentation and other needs for the center through funding from various federal, state and private sources.
