Tim Johnson is a food web guy, but he’s also a lake monitoring guy.
In 2021, Johnson, a longtime researcher at the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, and a binational group of researchers from five other agencies applied for a unique Smart Great Lakes mini-grant.
The project successfully deployed 13 sub-surface light and temperature sensor arrays onto existing GLATOS acoustic telemetry moorings across Lake Ontario. And soon the first year’s dataset will be available to the public on Seagull.

2022 was an action-packed year, from launching our Seagull platform, to wrapping up a series of diverse mini-grant projects, to advancing the Lakebed 2030 effort with a new crowdsourced bathymetry pipeline.
And the work we do to put more Great Lakes data into peoples’ hands is only possible because of the uniquely collaborative, ingenious spirit of the Great Lakes observing network. Thank you!
Thank you for being an observer, whether you use the data, deploy observing platforms, or fight for better policies and public access to the region’s monitoring data.
