Science in Service to Society

The Wings Over Water Research Institute is dedicated to the long-term monitoring of bald eagles and fish-eating waterbird populations as sensitive indicators of water quality. We produce high-quality research, outreach and education, providing the data needed to manage avian populations and engage the public on critical environmental issues and act. Founded in 2025, WOWRI was created to fill research funding cuts, build on long-running studies that are the foundation of this important work, and create a new model for funding environmental research.
