Donate for Research!
The RSC is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization able to accept donations for research supported projects and programs. Research topics include water quality impacted by bacterial concentrations (E. coli), harmful algal blooms, wetland restoration, native plants, erosion, invasive species, mussels, amphibian populations, fisheries, marine archaeology, and many more. The RSC staff work with member institutions and colleagues to further the scientific research in this region. Each year the RSC hosts a Research Symposium for Researchers, Faculty, and Undergraduate and Graduate Students to present their research findings. Donations to the RSC for Research will support the Student Mini-grant Program, the Annual Research Symposium, and other Research supported programs.
Donate for the Buoy!
The RSC is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Lake Erie Nearshore Buoy. This weather, water, wave buoy system measures parameters in real-time and posts the data to www.PALakeErieBuoy.com.
The implementation of this project was through a grant from the Great Lakes Observing System and in collaboration with the National Weather Service. Additional support for the equipment and promotion of the buoy was provided through a grant from Boat U.S.
Future operation of this system requires community support through public donations from organizations and individuals.
Be a Safe Boater, Buoy Before You Boat!
