Lake Superior Initiative
Lake Superior is a vital economic and environmental resource. It is also a fragile ecosystem threatened by toxic chemicals, exotic species and human exploitation. While environmental protection and restoration are vital, economic development is also critical to communities in the Lake Superior basin.
