Understanding ecosystem dynamics, function, and management from sustainable perspectives is imperative to the ecology and health of New York’s rivers, lakes, and wetlands. We support collaborative research projects in partnership with communities, organizations, and networks, to monitor, analyze, and model water quality, biodiversity, and the integrity of ecological processes. We utilize this research to assess, predict, and ensure through innovative solutions the balance, ecological structure, and resilience of these diverse ecosystems within the range of their natural variability.
