Please join the Ohio Environmental Council and Biodiversity Project for this half-day workshop and lunch.
The Great Lakes, one of the natural wonders of the world, are an economic engine for our state, and the heart of an ecosystem that 42 million people rely on for life. In December 2005, the bi-partisan governors and premiers of the U.S. states and Canadian provinces that share the lakes released a cooperative agreement for the future protection of our waters. The agreement, know as the Great Lakes Basin Water Resources Compact, encourages the sound management of our water, not for a single interest, but for our families, wildlife, and our children’s future.
Learn more about the agreement, its importance for business and tourism interests, and how you can get involved in protecting Ohio’s most precious resource – our water. Melinda Huntley from Lake Erie Coastal Ohio will provide insights from the tourism and business industries, the Ohio Environmental Council will provide issue updates for Ohio and the Wisconsin-based Biodiversity Project will share public opinion research and marketing recommendations for the positive promotion of Great Lakes protection.
