By Jack Aylmer (Energy Correspondent), Zachary Hill (Video Editor), Ali Caldwell (Graphics)
An initiative to map the entire bottom of the Great Lakes is gaining traction due to its potential benefits for fishing, shipping, and environmental management. Led by the Great Lakes Observing System, the project seeks to chart the lakebed, of which only 15% is currently mapped. This effort aims to uncover critical information about underwater topography, shipwrecks and infrastructure.

Using advanced sonar and robotic technology, scientists will scan the depths of the five lakes, which span over 94,000 square miles — an area nearly the size of Oregon — and hold 21% of the world’s freshwater.
A federal bill has allocated $200 million toward completing the mapping by 2030. Advocates of the project argue that it will not only help protect the lakes’ ecosystems but also enhance navigation safety.

AN EFFORT IS UNDERWAY TO MAP THE ENTIRE BOTTOM OF THE GREAT LAKES- A PROJECT GAINING MOMENTUM DUE TO ITS POTENTIAL BENEFITS FOR FISHING, SHIPPING, AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT.
WITH ONLY 15% OF THE LAKEBED CURRENTLY MAPPED, THIS INITIATIVE, LED BY THE GREAT LAKES OBSERVING SYSTEM, AIMS TO REVEAL CRUCIAL DETAILS ABOUT UNDERWATER TOPOGRAPHY, SHIPWRECKS, AND INFRASTRUCTURE.
THE LAKEBED IS HOME TO DIVERSE ECOSYSTEMS, AND MAPPING IT CAN ALSO HELP SCIENTISTS UNDERSTAND THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE, INVASIVE SPECIES, AND POLLUTION.
ADVANCED SONAR AND ROBOTIC TECHNOLOGY WILL BE EMPLOYED TO SCAN THE LAKES’ DEPTHS.
THE FIVE LAKES SPAN OVER 94,000 SQUARE MILES-
AN AREA NEARLY THE SIZE OF OREGON-
AND CONTAIN OVER 20 PERCENT OF THE WORLD’S FRESHWATER
A FEDERAL BILL CALLS FOR COMPLETE MAPPING TO BE COMPLETED BY 2030-
WITH 200 MILLION DOLLARS BEING PUT TOWARDS THE PLAN.
ADVOCATES SAY THIS PROJECT WILL AID IN PROTECTING THE LAKE’S VITAL ECOSYSTEMS AND IMPROVE NAVIGATION SAFETY.
