'''Smart Great Lakes Initiative''' ('''SGLI''') is a collaborative effort led by the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS), a nonprofit Regional Association of NOAA’s Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) under the Department of Commerce, to advance observation technologies across the Great Lakes. The Smart Great Lakes Initiative modernizes the Great Lakes observation network by deploying smart technologies and integrating data across regional systems, enhancing real-time monitoring and decision-making capabilities, aiming to improve safety, environmental resilience, and economic outcomes by providing stakeholders with advanced, interoperable data tools through a collaborative, binational framework. Notable achievements include the 2021 launch of the Seagull platform, unifying over 9,000 data streams, and its role in supporting Lakebed 2030, with $1 million invested by 2025 in smart tech like Imaging FlowCytobots for harmful algal bloom (HAB) monitoring. | '''Smart Great Lakes Initiative''' ('''SGLI''') is a collaborative effort led by the [[Great Lakes Observing System]] (GLOS), a nonprofit Regional Association of NOAA’s [[Integrated Ocean Observing System]] (IOOS) under the Department of Commerce, to advance observation technologies across the Great Lakes. | ||

The Smart Great Lakes Initiative is spearheaded by the Great Lakes Observing System nonprofit, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, certified by NOAA as an IOOS Regional Association in 2016. GLOS coordinates a binational coalition including NOAA, USGS, Environment and Climate Change Canada, and regional partners like the Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System (GCOOS), managing assets via the Seagull platform. Funding combines NOAA IOOS grants—$500,000 initially in 2019—private contributions, and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law awards, totaling over $3 million by 2025. The initiative’s leader is the GLOS CEO, Jennifer Boehme as of 2025, guided by a steering committee. | The Smart Great Lakes Initiative is spearheaded by the Great Lakes Observing System nonprofit, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, certified by NOAA as an IOOS Regional Association in 2016.
