Objective
The goal of the Great Lakes Program is to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Great Lakes Basin Ecosystem. EPA leads a consortium of programs, agencies, and public and private institutions in attaining specific objectives and actions that will address the most significant Great Lakes ecosystem problems and efforts in five major focus areas: Toxic Substances and Areas of Concern; Invasive Species; Nonpoint Source Pollution Impacts on Nearshore Health; Habitats and Species; and Foundations for Future Restoration Actions. Funded activities will advance protection and restoration of the Great Lakes ecosystem in support of (i) the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative as described in the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Action Plan III (available from: https://www.epa.gov/great-lakes-funding/great-lakes-restoration-initiative-action-plan-iii); (ii) Objective 1.2 (Provide for Clean and Safe Water) of EPA's 2018-2022 Strategic Plan (available from: https://www.epa.gov/planandbudget/strategicplan); and/or (iii) the Great Lakes Regional Collaboration Strategy to Protect and Restore the Great Lakes (available from: https://www.gsgp.org/projects/protection-and-restoration/great-lakes-regional-collaboration/glrc-strategy/ ).
Funding Priority - Fiscal Year 2021: Projects will be funded in five GLRI Action Plan focus areas: (i) Toxic Substances and Areas of Concern; (ii) Invasive Species; (iii) Nonpoint Source Pollution Impacts on Nearshore Health; (iv) Habitats and Species; and (v) Foundations for Future Restoration Actions. The GLRI places a special priority on cleaning up and de-listing Areas of Concern, reducing phosphorus contributions from agricultural and urban lands that contribute to harmful algal blooms and other water quality impairments, and invasive species prevention.
