Welcome to Great Lakes Forever!

Why are the Great Lakes Great?
  • They provide water for 37 million people.
  • They are a source of water for regional agriculture and food production.
  • They provide year round tourism, ranging from ice fishing and skiing to swimming and boating.
  • They are a powerful economic engine for the eight state, two province region.
And yet, the Lakes are vulnerable to pollution, invasive species, overconsumption and irresponsible development. Find out what you can do to help.
