Stream web site wins environmental award: The Lake Superior Bi-National Forum awarded LakeSuperiorStreams.org the 2007 Environmental Stewardship Award in the Community/Organization category for the United States. LakeSuperiorStreams.org uses web-based delivery and interactive animations of real-time stream data to address sustainability issues in western Lake Superior watersheds. It incorporates interpretive information, curricula, and a site design toolkit to inform and educate contractors/consultants, developers/realtors, students/teachers, homeowners, agencies and decision-makers. The project has evolved with the Western Superior Regional Stormwater Protection Team (27 organizations) which collaborates to deliver common educational messages, workshops, tools and approaches to this audience. The site has received six awards since 2004 from state, regional and national organizations and averages about 400,000 server requests a month. To receive monthly email updates, join the LakeSuperiorStreams.org list-serve via the “Contact Us” link at the bottom of the web site.
