The lakes fuel a $6 trillion regional economy and hold 90% of the U.S. supply of fresh surface water, providing drinking water for more than 40 million people. More than 1.5 million U.S. jobs are directly connected to the Great Lakes and those jobs generate $62 billion in wages annually. The Great Lakes Commission To ensure that this vital resource is protected, the The GLC provides the following core services to our member eight Great Lakes states created the Great Lakes states and provinces: 1) communications and outreach; Commission (GLC) in 1955 via the Great Lakes Basin 2) information management and delivery; 3) facilitation and Compact. In 1968, Congress provided its consent to the consensus building; 4) policy coordination and advocacy; and Compact and the interstate compact agency it created. 5) regional project management. We employ these services to carry out a variety of projects and activities in the areas of: The eight U.S. states and two Canadian provinces are represented on the GLC by a delegation of government- Water Quality appointed commissioners.

  • GLC Declaration of Partnership
    Declaration of Partnership Whereas, the informed use, management and protection of the water and related land resources of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Basin is essential in maintaining a healthy environment, strong economy and high quality of life for all Basin residents; and Whereas, the Basin is a shared, binational resource that requires a spirit of collaboration among multiple jurisdictions to ensure an effi cient and effective approach to shared goals; and Whereas, the Great Lakes states and the Governments of Ontario and Quebec have demonstrated their stewardship responsibility for Basin resources through a strong and growing partnership; and Whereas, this partnership is recognized in the Great Lakes Basin Compact, as signed into law by the legislature in every Great Lakes state; and Whereas, the Governments of Ontario and Quebec presently enjoy “Observer” status within the Great Lakes Commission; and Whereas, the Great Lakes states and the Governments of Ontario and Quebec share an interest in strengthening and formalizing this relationship. Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the eight member states of the Great Lakes Commission extend, and the Governments of Ontario and Quebec accept, Associate Member status on the Great Lakes Commission; and Be It Further Resolved, that the Great Lakes states invite the Governments of Ontario and Quebec to appoint a delegation of representatives to the Great Lakes Commission, for the purpose of participating in meetings and activities as provided for in the Great Lakes Basin Compact; and Be It Finally Resolved, that the Great Lakes states and Governments of Ontario and Quebec view Associate Member status as an important step toward the goal of a stronger partnership as provided for in the Great Lakes Basin Compact adopted by the eight Great Lakes states.

  • A Joint Action Plan for Lake Erie a Report of the Great Lakes Commission Lake Erie Nutrient Targets Working Group September, 2015
    A Joint Action Plan for Lake Erie A Report of the Great Lakes Commission Lake Erie Nutrient Targets Working Group September, 2015 A 2014 Great Lakes Commission Lake Erie Water Pollution resolution committed the Lake Erie states and the Province of Ontario to form a working group to develop new and refine existing practices, programs and policies to achieve pollutant reduction targets and/or identify additional remedies to improve water quality in Lake Erie. This report is a product of the Lake Erie Nutrient Targets (LENT) Working Group that formed following that resolution. It is envisioned that this Joint Action Plan will drive further actions, consultations and discussions that the states and the province can advance in the near term as longer-term efforts are underway through the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (GLWQA) Nutrients Annex (Annex 4) process, including release of final Lake Erie nutrient targets in 2016 and Domestic Action Plans in 2018. The actions described here complement and expand on the commitments made by the Governors of Ohio and Michigan and the Premier of Ontario in their Western Basin of Lake Erie Collaborative Agreement signed in June 2015. PREAMBLE Lake Erie is the eleventh largest lake on Earth by surface area.1 Of the five Laurentian Great Lakes, Lake Erie is the southernmost, the smallest by volume, the shallowest, and also the warmest. It is the most biologically productive, supporting the largest Great Lakes sport fishery. Lake Erie has three distinct sub-basins: a very shallow western basin and related islands; a deeper central basin; an even deeper eastern basin that drains into the Niagara River and Lake Ontario.
