The Adirondack Cooperative Loon Program (ACLP) is dedicated to improving the overall health of the environment, particularly the protection of air and water quality. Collaborative research and education efforts focus on the natural history of the common loon (Gavia immer) and conservation issues affecting loon populations and their aquatic habitats. Using the common loon as an indicator species, the ACLP works to increase knowledge and improve awareness in the scientific community, policy makers, and the general public about environmental conservation
