New York's Great Lakes Ecosystem Education Exchange (NYGLEEE) is a program administered by New York Sea Grant and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, partnering with educators in New York's Great Lakes watershed to develop an experiential environmental education program focusing on Great Lakes Literacy Principles and stewardship. NYGLEEE aims to:

• Ensure the next generation is prepared to make sound decisions that consider and contribute to improving the health of New York’s Great Lakes, including water quality, natural resources and social impacts.
• Encourage K-12 students to pursue careers in fields such as water quality management, environmental engineering, habitat protection, and environmental education.
