Lake Edward Albert Advisory Group (LEAAG)
The Lake Edward Albert Advisory Group (LEAAG) was established in November of 2019. It consists of members of the scientific community from both lakes (Edward and Albert) as it was determined the overlap between the community warranted only one group.
LEAAG’s Purpose is to build on the existing collaborations across socio-political boundaries, and include experts working on the below identified gaps, investigating issues that impact the health of the lakes, and keep the well-being of surrounding communities dependent on the lakes, and to suggest solutions.
