GREAT LAKES PROJECT (The Nature Conservancy)
Covering more than 94,000 square miles, the Great Lakes hold one-fifth of the world’s surface freshwater and provide drinking water to one in four Canadians and one in 10 Americans. Since European settlement, we have depended on this resource for economic prosperity, food and water. But over time, this dependence has distressed the health of the world’s largest freshwater system. This interactive website features Great Lakes conservation work on the ground and in the water.

FROM SEA TO SOURCE is the result of collaborations and partnerships with fisheries professionals all over the world, drawn together to provide a major new text on the theme of fish migration.
