Threats
The Great Lakes are breaking down due to the cumulative impacts of invasive species, sewage contamination, the destruction of wetlands and other critical habitat, and other threats. The proof can be seen in closed beaches, fouled drinking water, fish consumption advisories, and shrinking populations of sport fish.
Comprehensive action is needed now to reverse the breakdown, because the longer we wait to restore the lakes, the problems get worse and more costly.
Luckily, there are solutions. The Healing Our Waters Coalition is working in our nation’s capitol to pass legislation that will stop sewage contamination, prevent invasive species introductions and restore the lakes.
