In the Great Lakes Watermark partnership, Lake Ontario Waterkeeper and the IJC are gathering and sharing your stories about our precious shared waters. You can watch, hear, and read Watermark stories at a special Watermark Project website. August is a great time for vacationing on the Great Lakes and collecting Watermark memories of your own.
