Lake Champlain Sea Grant announces its selection of funded research projects for the 2022-2024 award cycle, which began February 1. Five exciting projects will examine issues related to turtle conservation; lake trout stocking strategies; contaminant risk among angling groups; environmental literacy among teachers and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) students; and floodplain restoration.
Learn more about these projects:

Lake Champlain Sea Grant’s Program Advisory Committee helped to inform research topics which are aligned with our values of partnerships and diversity. The review process included assessments by technical experts and discussion of local relevancy by a panel of local practitioners.
Lake Champlain basin residents can look forward to science that informs land and water management practices and policy decisions in favor of ecosystem health and sustainable economies in our basin. We are planning public presentations on each research project beginning in fall 2022.
