The State University of New York College at Oneonta (SUNY Oneonta) is a primarily undergraduate institution located in New York's Central Leatherstocking region. The SUNY Oneonta Biological Field Station (BFS), located in Cooperstown, NY, supports research opportunities for high-school students, undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and visiting researchers. The planned improvements supported by the FSML grant will modernize the conventional limnological monitoring schema, improving the breadth and quality of the research, education, and training opportunities available to students and researchers at SUNY Oneonta and from other institutions through the addition of modern fisheries sampling and data collection capacities. The requested equipment will greatly enhance several ongoing projects at the BFS, provide capacity needed to revitalize an historical fisheries program that has been largely absent from the BFS for nearly 30 years, and increase the self-reliance of the BFS in providing regional support integral to opportunities offered to undergraduate and graduate students, and visiting researchers. Projects and programs that will benefit from these improvements include: the nation's first Master of Science (MS) and Professional Science Master (PSM) programs in Lake Management; characterization of food web dynamics in Otsego Lake, NY, following collapse of an invasive planktivore; restoration of lake whitefish in Otsego Lake; continued warm-water fisheries monitoring and updating an historical inventory; ecosystem-level effects of the trophic management in experimental ponds; continued long-term monitoring of water quality and limnological parameters in Otsego Lake and the Upper Susquehanna River watershed; coordinated long-term, high-resolution limnological and climate monitoring with other SUNY institutions and contribution to the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON); and research on local and regional fish parasites. The BFS has a demonstrated dedication to long-term monitoring of aquatic ecosystems on BFS lands and throughout New York State. Monitoring efforts have ranged in application from informing the management of fisheries, lakes, and surrounding watersheds to basic research for the advancement of biological and ecological knowledge. Certain systems have accumulated more than 40 years of continuous monitoring data, some of which have been utilized in high-impact global climate research projects. The BFS conducts collaborative research projects with local, state and federal partners, and integrates current ecological theories into natural resource management practices. It serves the local community by monitoring water quality, controlling sources and symptoms of anthropogenic eutrophication, managing aquatic invasive species, and assessing emerging pollutants. These comprehensive monitoring efforts provide diverse opportunities to study natural resource management questions at various levels, from individual ecosystem components to the ecosystem and regional levels.

纽约州立大学奥尼昂塔学院（SUNY奥尼昂塔）是一所主要的本科院校，位于纽约中央皮革袜地区。纽约州立大学奥内昂塔生物研究站（BFS）位于纽约州库珀斯敦，为高中生、本科生和研究生、教师和访问研究人员提供研究机会。FSML拨款支持的改进计划将使传统的湖泊监测方案现代化，通过增加现代渔业抽样和数据收集能力，提高纽约州立大学奥内昂塔分校和其他机构的学生和研究人员的研究、教育和培训机会的广度和质量。所要求的设备将大大加强BFS正在进行的几个项目，提供振兴BFS近30年来基本缺失的历史渔业项目所需的能力，并提高BFS在提供区域支持方面的自力更生能力，为本科生和研究生以及访问研究人员提供不可或缺的机会。受益于这些改进的项目和计划包括：全国首个湖泊管理科学硕士（MS）和专业科学硕士（PSM）项目；入侵浮游生物崩溃后，纽约州奥特塞戈湖食物网动态特征；奥塞哥湖白鱼的恢复；继续对温水渔业进行监测并更新历史清单；实验池塘营养化管理的生态系统效应继续长期监测奥特塞戈湖和上萨斯奎哈纳河流域的水质和湖泊参数；与纽约州立大学其他机构协调长期、高分辨率的湖泊和气候监测，并为全球湖泊生态观测站网络（GLEON）做出贡献；以及对当地和区域鱼类寄生虫的研究。BFS一直致力于对BFS土地和整个纽约州的水生生态系统进行长期监测。监测工作的应用范围很广，从通报渔业、湖泊和周围流域的管理，到促进生物和生态知识的基础研究。某些系统积累了超过40年的连续监测数据，其中一些已用于影响较大的全球气候研究项目。BFS与地方、州和联邦合作伙伴开展合作研究项目，并将当前的生态理论融入自然资源管理实践。它通过监测水质、控制人为富营养化的来源和症状、管理水生入侵物种和评估新出现的污染物，为当地社区服务。这些综合监测工作为从个别生态系统组成部分到生态系统和区域各级研究自然资源管理问题提供了各种机会。
