LimnoTech at IAGLR 2025
May 30, 2025
LimnoTech Engineers and Scientists will be at IAGLR’s 68th Annual Conference on Great Lakes Research in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The International Association for Great Lakes Research’s (IAGLR) 68th Annual Conference on Great Lakes Research will feature five days of inspiring science centered around the theme, Creating Great Lakes Resilience. The weeklong conference will be hosted virtually and in person at the Milwaukee Convention Center from Monday, June 2, to Friday, June 6.

LimnoTech is also co-hosting a hybrid workshop on Wednesday afternoon, June 4, with the International Joint Commission and Potomac-Hudson Engineering. Approximately 80-100 participants will support the continued development of a decadal-scale science plan for the Great Lakes. The plan, building from the completed 2022 Science Strategy, will include proposed science priorities, funding details and sources, governance and decision-making structure, and the priority needs for investments.
Categories for funding include basic science, vessels and infrastructure, workforce development, and enhanced cultural understanding of linked Great Lakes ecosystems and human communities, including Indigenous approaches, that will be sufficient for managing and protecting the system over the next decade and beyond.
Please get in touch with the authors if you have questions or want to learn more about any of the presentations.
LimnoTech is also proud to be a sponsor of IAGLR 2025. If you are at the conference, see us at the LimnoTech and Freeboard Technology booth.
