A PROPOSAL FOR IMPROVING THE MANAGEMENT OF THE GREAT LAKES OF THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA

A study of the management of the Great Lakes was undertaken by a binational group composed of faculty members representing some twenty Canadian and U.S. universities in the Great Lakes region, exploring ways in which the management of the water and related land resources of the Great Lakes Basin might be strengthened to the mutual advantage of both countries. The investigation was concerned with determining what kinds of government organizations are needed and how these organizations should be related to one another to achieve effective management at the lowest possible economic, political and social costs. The report proposes that the United States and Canada must act individually and jointly, to remove obstacles. (Author Modified Abstract)
