Here is a sample of the many resources for Great Lakes news. Below you can find the links to the news feeds and a short description of the organization from their website.
The Great Lakes Information Network (GLIN) is a partnership that provides one place online for people to find information relating to the binational Great Lakes-St. Lawrence region of North America. GLIN offers a wealth of data and information about the region’s environment, economy, tourism, education and more. Thanks to its strong network of state, provincial, federal and regional partner agencies and organizations, GLIN has become a necessary component of informed decisionmaking, and a trusted and reliable source of information for those who live, work or have an interest in the Great Lakes region.

The National Science Foundation’s Division of Ocean Sciences supports a network of coordinated centers that facilitate collaborations and communications between ocean science researchers and educators. These Centers for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence (COSEE) foster the integration of ocean research into high quality educational materials, allow ocean researchers to gain a better understanding of educational organizations and pedagogy, provide educators with an enhanced capacity to understand and deliver high-quality educational programs in the ocean sciences, and provide material to the public that promotes a deeper understanding of the ocean and its influence on each person’s quality of life and our national prosperity. The Great Lakes are included in this network because the Lakes have been historically included in Marine and Aquatic education.

The GLIN is the best starting place for information on Great Lakes issues. They have a great news need and links to many other Great Lakes websites. Every month they highlight a website within their network and the site of the month archives is very useful place to begin exploring the wealth of information about the Great Lakes. Below is the link to the site of the month page and a description of the program from the GLIN website.
GLIN links hundreds of agencies and organizations serving the Great Lakes region. You may not have visited them all yet, especially with new data and information and more partners coming online every month. Because partnership is the core of GLIN, each month we highlight the wealth of information available on the web site of one active GLIN partner. These partners work closely with the GLIN Project Team to ensure that their information is integrated into the regional network; in turn, these partners point back to relevant GLIN pages from wherever appropriate on their own web sites so that people can easily find information about a topic of interest.
