save ELA
Canada’s Experimental Lakes Area (ELA) is a unique, irreplaceable program for research on water quality and fisheries ─ it is the only place in the world where we can perform experiments on whole lakes. Located in northwestern Ontario the ELA consists of 58 small lakes and their watersheds that have been set aside for research. Since 1968, this facility has been a natural outdoor laboratory to study the physical, chemical, and biological processes in actual lake ecosystems.
Canadians and people around the world received a huge blow with the news on May 17th, 2012 that the Government of Canada is cancelling the ELA program next year.
The abrupt closure means invaluable water research projects -- not being done anywhere else in the world -- will be lost, and their future findings lost with them.
