The Great Lakes Marsh Monitoring Program
http://www.bsc-eoc.org/mmpmain.html
The Great Lakes ecosystem of North America is the largest system of fresh surface water on
earth and provides valuable services ranging from clean drinking water sources to wildlife
viewing. Several of these services depend on the presence of vigorous, healthy wetlands -
both along the coastline and in interior areas. Many of these wetlands have been lost
through draining or filling, degraded by pollution inputs, or altered by invading plants and
animals. Among wetland types, marshes (those dominated by emergent plants like cattail,
sedges, or bulrush) are especially important habitat for a wide array of wildlife species.
