Great Lakes Restoration Initiative

The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) is a U.S. program established to protect and restore the Great Lakes, which are vital freshwater resources. Launched in 2010, it focuses on combating pollution, restoring habitats, and addressing invasive species that threaten the ecosystem. The initiative funds projects that enhance water quality and promote the health of the lakes, benefiting wildlife and communities that rely on these waters. By investing in science-based solutions, the GLRI aims to ensure the sustainability of the Great Lakes for future generations.
