About this service
Science Program coordinates whole lake scientific research and monitoring on Lake Winnipeg to gain a better understanding of ecological processes and how they are changing over time, and to support lake and watershed management decision making.
Currently, the Program offers science support and infrastructure in the form of:
Two research vessels, Motor Vessel (MV) Namao and MV Fylgja;
Three whole lake surveys during the open water season (spring, summer, fall);
A network of 65 stations (including offshore, nearshore, river mouths, and outflows);
Lake access for Special Projects, upon request; and
A Scholarship to honours and graduate students.
We also hold an annual Science Workshop (see below) to convene the active science agencies. Annual program reports and State of the Science reports can be found on the Documents page.
