Technical Bulletin No. 0662: Great Lakes Environmental Assessment

This report is an initial effort to satisfy the need for accurate and complete information characterizing the state of the Great Lakes environment. It is intended to help put into perspective the roles which various factors play in determining the overall health of the Great Lakes ecosystem and to provide a better understanding of them. Information was gathered through extensive review of the published and “gray” literature and from written and other input from a panel of nineteen expert Great Lakes researchers.
