Good morning. 🌊 Wondering if this affects @livelakemichigan and all the other Live! Great Lakes cams. @maz1 "GLOS buoys don't get pulled overnight, but the observing system degrades when funding stops. Sensor maintenance contracts lapse, then data transmission and cloud fees go unpaid. Then partner organizations (universities, private sector and nonprofits) lose the GLOS grants that keep their equipment in the water. Within one season, the network fragments." #GreatLakes https://www.ottawanewsnetwork.org/expert-proposed-zero-funding-for-great-lakes-could-cause-cascade-of-breakdowns/
