OREGON, OH - The Great Lakes United States Policy Committee met at the Maumee Bay State Park Lodge to publicly discuss the progress of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. Representatives from the U.S. EPA provided updated information regarding the scientific approach that will lend to the policy considerations for regulating toxins, nutrients, and aquatic invasive species. This meeting also allowed the organizations who will receive funding from the initiative, the public and other stakeholders to ask questions and express their concerns.

Listen below to recordings of panel speakers on nutrients and invasive species in the Great Lakes, with a following of questions and statements made by audience participants.
