I am to some extent. Yes, we're helping to sample in some of the areas. One of the biggest challenges in understanding the condition of the Great Lakes is that over time funding available for monitoring and conducting research has declined. We know more about the conditions in Lake Erie than any of the other Great Lakes. We know about the amount of nutrients that are loaded into the lake every year and use that to predict whether we will get algal blooms. In fact, though, many of the tributaries have not been monitored for 10 or 15 years. Fewer and fewer are monitored and we assume that some of those behave the same way as the ones that are.
The Great Lakes nutrient initiative has provided funds to monitor 12 of the Canadian tributaries flowing into Lake Erie that haven't been sampled for about five or six years previously. That includes the Grand, the Sydenham, the Thames, and the Detroit River, which is being monitored 24 hours a day throughout the year, in winter as well as in summer. It is a major impetus of the nutrient initiative to understand what is the linkage between the phosphorus loading and the manifestations of these algal blooms that we're seeing.
