Great Salt Lake Ecosystem Program Technical Advisory Group

The Technical Advisory Group provides guidance and recommendations for the research, management and conservation efforts of the Great Salt Lake Ecosystem Program. TAG holds two to three public meetings a year in which contracted researchers present updates on their Great Salt Lake-focused research.
