For most people in the basin involved with watershed, water quality and lake resources management, Lake Champlain Sea Grant is extension. We interact, on a daily basis, with basin residents, community leaders and agency staff. Extension supports a two-way flow of information. LCSG extension specialists identify gaps in the knowledge needed to sustainably manage lake and basin resources. We then gather information and provide tools, training and the results of applied research to bridge these gaps. Because we work closely with national, Great Lakes and local researchers, LCSG extension also informs the research community of priority information needs, helping to guide research to solve pressing problems in the basin.
