The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and its federal partners are seeking stakeholder input as they update the Action Plan for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI). A key part of the process is to seek public and stakeholder input to help chart the future of the Great Lakes. On July 19th from 6 – 8 p.m., EPA will host an in-person public comment session at the Rochester Museum and Science Center in Rochester. Participants will hear about the GLRI and Action Plan and have an opportunity to ask questions and provide comments.
Please consider attending virtually or in person, and sharing your perspectives and experiences on the following questions:
- How the plan can be improved over previous GLRI action plans?
- What key priorities should be included in the plan?
- How can the plan be improved to better incorporate environmental justice and the impacts of climate change?
Since 2010, the GLRI has provided funding that targets the biggest threats to the Great Lakes ecosystem and accelerates progress toward achieving long-term goals. Find more information on the GLRI website. Direct comments or questions to EPA at [email protected].
