    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "This article explores the evolving role of science within the U.S. National Park Service, with a focus on the Great Lakes national parks. It highlights how scientific research has historically played a reactive rather than proactive role in resource management, often constrained by limited funding and staffing. As visitor numbers and external environmental pressures have grown, the need for mission-oriented, process-focused research has become increasingly urgent. Reshkin emphasizes the importance of integrating scientific understanding into natural resource management to support informed decision-making, especially amid conflicting goals of preservation and use. The paper identifies serious threats such as shoreline erosion and air pollution, notes the scarcity of scientists in many park areas, and proposes strategic initiatives including long-term research planning, expanded university partnerships, and the establishment of cooperative study units. These recommendations aim to ensure that science remains a central, well-supported pillar in managing and preserving the ecological integrity of the Great Lakes parks.",
