Turning Science Into Action
We are excited to announce that the next State of the Bay report will be released in summer 2023! The report will include research about water, wetlands, fisheries, and species at risk, and incorporate Indigenous knowledges to deepen our collective understanding of environmental change.
We Need Your Help to Protect Georgian Bay
Donate directly to the State of the Bay program to support our team of scientists to do extensive data analysis, identify important environmental trends, and focus on the threats we need to manage most.
History
While Georgian Bay can feel like wilderness, it is subject to virtually all of the same pressures as the other Great Lakes – invasive species, climate change, and development pressures.
To help monitor these changes, the Georgian Bay Biosphere launched the State of the Bay project in 2008. We wanted to know -are things getting better, getting worse, or needing more research?
Together with our expert advisors and partners, several ‘aquatic ecosystem health indicators were identified to help us tell the story of the nearshore and offshore water of eastern Georgian Bay. State of the Bay ecosystem health reports were issued in 2013 and 2018 with the goal to gather the best available research and share it with people who care about Georgian Bay.
