The mission of the Michigan Great
Lakes Protection Fund is to provide a source of reliable funding for new
research and demonstration projects to preserve, enhance, and restore the Great
Lakes and its component ecosystems. Supported work contributes to our
understanding of how pollution enters and moves through the Great Lakes region,
the identification and reduction of human and wildlife health risks posed by
these problems, and the effects of habitat degradation on the health of fish and
wildlife in and around the Great Lakes. Emphasis is placed on work that results
in needed policy development or significant near-term improvement in water
quality, environmental health, and ecosystem restoration.
