NOAA Team Maps Lake Ontario for Habitat | Rochester News

NOAA’s Navigation Response Team is currently on Lake Ontario, not for emergencies but for a vital habitat restoration mission. Based in New London, they’re surveying 97 square nautical miles near Rochester, collecting critical hydrographic data to support the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. Using specialized equipment, they map the lakebed like mowing a lawn, measuring water temperature and salinity to help restore vital ecosystems. Their work ends this month, after which they’ll return to Connecticut, ready to spring into action for any emergency that arises.
