Eliminating the Threat of Toxic

Pollution and Excess Nutrients, (2)

Physical Integrity: Improving Land Use,

Water Quantity Management, and

Habitat Protection, (3) Biological

Integrity: Protecting Human Health and

the Ecosystem’s Species, and (4)

Working Together: Effectively

Coordinating Programs and Resources to

Ensure The Great Lakes are Protected

and Restored.

DATES: A draft of the Strategy will be

made available to the public by June 1,

2001.
