The NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) Lake Michigan Field Station is home to vessel operations which is the critical asset that support NOAA GLERL science on the Great Lakes.  Their staff and partners engage in fresh water ecology and ecosystem  management issues that directly impact the marine life in the Great Lakes. Lake Michigan Field Station (LMFS) is the home port for NOAA Great Lakes vessels, which operate throughout the Great Lakes. It is also the platform for the long-term observations research program on Lake Michigan.  Due to their  limited staff, the Field Station does not provide tours to the public.  Learn more on their website.
