Lake Huron Binational Partnership 2008-2010 Action Plan
The Lake Huron Binational Partnership effort focuses on
pollution reduction activities in areas of obvious importance, such
as Areas of Concern (AOCs), and directly pursues on-the-ground
activities to protect areas of high-quality habitat within the Lake
Huron basin. Existing stakeholder and agency forums
are used as much as possible to support the goals of the
Partnership. The Partnership maintains a close association with the
Remedial Action Plan efforts in AOCs, the Great Lakes Fishery
Commission’s Lake Huron and Lake Huron Technical Committees, the
State of the Lakes Ecosystem Conference (SOLEC), and domestic
efforts that support the Partnership.
This 2008-2010 Action Plan provides updated information on
environmental trends, identifies priority issues, and promotes
management activities to be pursued over the next two-year cycle.
Consistent with an adaptive management approach, the Action Plan
tracks progress on issues identified in the previous cycle,
including contaminants in fish, changes in food web structure and
protection of critical habitat, and has been expanded to address
emerging issues, such as observed increases in nearshore algae and
diseases such as botulism and viral hemorrhaghic septicemia (VHS)
