Newark, NY, March 11, 2024 - The Great Lakes Watershed is a complex geological and biological system, supporting countless communities, ecosystems, and economies.

As explored in this second video in a 2024 Great Lakes resilience series from New York Sea Grant, to understand the importance of it all, we must begin with the simple question: What is a watershed?

The Great Lakes Watershed includes two distinct regions, the Upper Great Lakes, and the Lake Ontario St. Lawrence River System.

Understanding watershed dynamics is important for managing water resources, understanding flooding, preventing pollution, and protecting aquatic ecosystems.
