Sound science is critical to informing the management and protection of Lake Champlain and its Basin. Since 1992, the LCBP and its partner organizations have funded numerous projects by universities, consultants, research foundations, nonprofit organizations, and others. These projects range from scientific research, to best management demonstration projects, to education and outreach. Technical reports resulting from many of these projects are available in our publications database.
