The Great Lakes support a regional economy of US$6 trillion (CDN$7.5 trillion) and provide safe drinking water for millions of people. Science provides essential data to build consensus around managing and preventing threats to the Great Lakes. The forthcoming Great Lakes Science Plan, in development by the International Joint Commission’s Great Lakes Science Advisory Board (SAB), will be a forward-looking plan for resources to transform science over the next generation.
