Great Lakes Fishery Commission

The Great Lakes Fishery Commission is an organization dedicated to protecting and restoring fish populations in the Great Lakes. Created in 1955, it brings together U.S. and Canadian officials to manage fish health, improve fisheries, and control invasive species like restocking native fish and reducing harmful pests. Its goal is to maintain sustainable, healthy fisheries that support ecosystems and local economies. The commission conducts scientific research, coordinates policies, and promotes cooperation between countries to ensure the long-term vitality of the lakes’ aquatic resources.
