The Great Lakes Fish Monitoring and Surveillance Program (GLFMSP) is a funding opportunity provided by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to monitor the water quality of the Great Lakes, with a special emphasis on the monitoring of toxic pollutants. The program aims to collect, analyze, and report contaminant concentrations in Great Lakes top-predator fish, improve understanding of contaminant cycling throughout food webs in the Great Lakes, and screen for emerging chemicals in fish tissue to identify priority chemicals warranting future study. The program will support the analysis of homogenized fish tissue from all 10 GLFMSP stations for fish collected in 2025-2029, and the development of new analysis methods or use of existing analysis methods to compare environmental results to other published fish tissue datasets in the Great Lakes. Key aspects of the program include: • Analyzing homogenized fish tissue from all 10 GLFMSP stations for fish collected in 2025-2029 • Developing new analysis methods or using existing analysis methods to compare environmental results to other published fish tissue datasets in the Great Lakes • Identifying and assessing new and emerging chemicals of concern in Great Lakes top predator fish • Developing Great Lakes scientists through the education of graduate and undergraduate students in Great Lakes ecosystem science and environmental chemistry • Delivering quality-assured data to EPA in appropriate timeframes • Supporting the development of the Toxic Chemicals in Whole Fish sub-indicator report for the 2028 and 2031 State of the Great Lakes reports
