Diving Into Something New
Niagara Coastal and Swim Drink Fish
Niagara Coastal and Swim Drink Fish have partnered since 2019 to deliver community-based science programming in the Niagara Region. Together, we've conducted recreational water monitoring, hosted collaborative events, and worked to protect the Great Lakes through our Lake Erie Niagara Monitoring hub.
As of 2024, our long-term partners at Swim Drink Fish Canada are delivering VAST nationwide and internationally. We're proud to have developed VAST and grateful to see Swim Drink Fish mobilize this tool as part of their broader movement to safeguard critical water resources.
