CLEVELAND — The Great Lakes are the fresh water envy of the world, with one-fifth of the world’s fresh surface water found in them, but it’s also vital for recreation and commerce. Lake Erie is the smallest and shallowest of the Great Lakes, so it is the most vulnerable to threats. Consider this, Lake Erie holds just 2% of the water in the Great Lakes but accounts for 50% of the fish and living organisms in them.
For the last four years, they've been launching computerized smart buoys in the lake this time of year to monitor those ever-changing conditions. “The Great Lakes are home to 21% of the world's fresh surface water. So we are using our challenges as our opportunities where we're not only learning about what's going on in the lake but we're helping solve these issues right here,” said Martin.
