SUMMARY:The State of the Great Lakes Discussion
DESCRIPTION:
 Emerging Issues regarding the Great Lakes\n
 Our 
 water environment is changing. While the Great 
 Lakes are admired daily for their beauty, 
 ecological and economic value, many from across 
 the country and the world are looking to the 
 Great Lakes in a much different perspective. 
 Discussions of fresh water storage and diversion, 
 declining levels and temperatures are 
 clouding the future of the Great Lakes. Observations 
 of water scientists and needs of water 
 prospectors are calling on Midwest residents 
 and policy makers to think differently about 
 this vast freshwater resource and how we manage 
 it for the future. What should we be thinking 
 about as we prepare to respond to the 
 world's freshwater needs? Which policies best 
 help steward the Great Lakes while meeting demands 
 for freshwater and economically-valued 
 passageways?\n
 \n
 Speakers include Michael Jones, 
 Ph.D., Chair, Firsheries and Wildlife, Michigan 
 State University and Jon Allan, Director, 
 Michigan Office of the Great Lakes\n
