February 2008 - CJS to Develop Coastal Zone Contextual Narrative Working Paper for IJC Upper Great Lakes Study
CJS has been retained by the International Joint Commission to prepare a "Contextual Narrative" of the Coastal Zone Riparian Interest Group for the IJC's International Upper Great Lakes Study. The Contextual Narrative will provide a summary of the key characteristics of the riparian interest based on existing and available data and information.

April 2007 - CJS Completes Scoping Paper and Literature Review for IJC International Upper Great Lakes Study
CJS has recently completed a comprehensive Scoping Paper that provides a comprehensive review of the range of data, reports, GIS data and other background information that is available for use by the Coastal Task Working Groups (CTWG) and other working groups within the IJC International Upper Great Lakes Study (IUGLS). The report is intended to serve as a guide to the CTWG for the identification of the key data sets and approaches that are available for analysis of coastal zone impacts and the identification of the key agencies and organizations who hold this data. It will highlight a range of existing studies and data sets that have been completed in the past that can perhaps be “leveraged” for use in the IUGLS, and using this information, will provide the CTWG with initial guidance and direction as to the approach they should take to address an analysis of coastal zone impacts within the timeframe and budget that is available.
