The staff of Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary would like to acknowledge the assistance and efforts of subject area experts from the NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL), who, by participating in a workshop in March 2010, provided responses to questions that guided the drafting of the "State of Sanctuary Resources" section of this report: Doran Mason, Tom Nalepa, Steve Ruberg, Ed Rutherford and Craig Stow.
The report benefited significantly from the following individuals who either provided a preliminary review of the report or provided comments, content, images, and/or data:
Ellen Brody (ONMS Northeast Region), Tane Casserley (TBNMS), Karen Fox (formerly of TetraTech), Jeff Gray (TBNMS), Joe Hoyt (MNMS), John Jensen (Maritime Studies and Policy Faculty, Sea Education Association), Jennifer Lukens (NOAA Office of Habitat Restoration), Wayne Lusardi (Michigan State Underwater Archaeologist), Sarah Opfer (NOAA Marine Debris Program), David Reid (GLERL), and Mitchell Tartt (ONMS).
Finally, our sincere thanks are extended to the peer reviewers of this document: Frank Cantelas (NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research) and James Johnson (Michigan Department of Natural Resources).
