Experimental Lakes Get Lifeline

摘要

Canada's Experimental Lakes Area (ELA) will remain open this year with money from the province of Ontario. But that funding, announced on 24 April by Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, may be only a temporary lifeline. The facility has conducted ecosystems research at 58 lakes since 1968. But last year, the Canadian government axed its $2 million annual appropriation, gave notice that it planned to start tearing down structures in September, and hired security guards to keep scientists off the site after 31 March.
