> Hello All,
>
> Many of you will have heard that the Experimental Lakes Area, a world-renowned Fisheries and Oceans research station in Ontario, will be closing due to a recent decision by the government of Canada. The ELA is an irreplaceable facility that has produced world class freshwater research for almost 50 years. For those that are interested I have attached information regarding the facility, the closure, and what you can do.
>
> In the past the ELA has contributed to issues such as acid rain, and is now primarily focused on climate change. The operating costs of the facility are $600 000/year, meaning that its closure has little to no impact on the budget, but yet another declaration of this governments war on science.
>
> I would encourage everyone to please take a moment to let the government know that you are unhappy with recent cuts, including the closure of the ELA:
