North American Research and Monitoring for Aquatic Systems

North American Research and Monitoring for Aquatic Systems (NARMS) is a collaborative effort to study and track the health of lakes, rivers, and other water bodies across North America. It involves collecting scientific data on water quality, ecosystems, and pollutants to understand trends, detect problems, and support informed decision-making. The goal is to protect and improve aquatic environments by providing accurate, up-to-date information to researchers, policymakers, and the public. This program helps ensure that water resources remain safe, clean, and sustainable for ecosystems and human use.
