Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI)

Great Lakes Restoration Initiative

The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative is the largest investment in the Great Lakes in two decades.

A task force of 11 federal agencies developed a plan to put the president's historic initiative into action. This action plan covers fiscal years 2010 through 2014 and addresses five urgent focus areas:

  1. Cleaning up toxics and areas of concern;
  2. Combating invasive species;
  3. Promoting nearshore health by protecting watersheds from polluted run-off;
  4. Restoring wetlands and other habitats; and
  5. Working with partners on outreach.
