The Blue-Green Action Platform (BlueGAP)
- Aquatic nitrogen pollution is a global concern
- Support community collaboration to develop solutions
- Focuses on frontline communities
CMPS is participating in the NSF-sponsored BlueGAP project, that helps find solutions to nitrogen pollution. BlueGAP has three sections: 1) the BlueGAP Academy engages individuals and communities along and across watersheds, including frontline communities. 2) the Virtual Platform is a dynamic, online resource that will educate and connect users through data and stories about nitrogen pollution. 3) the BlueGAP Alliance brings together “Champions” from the community with researchers to co-design and test the content on the virtual platform.
