Great Lakes water-quality agreement: an evolving instrument for ecosystem management. Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6281147
A review of the 1978 Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement between the United States and Canada was undertaken beginning in 1984 and ending with the issuance of a final report from a binational committee of the Royal Society of Canada and the National Research Council in December 1985. A major opportunity to review the Agreement comes in 1986 after the International Joint Commission (IJC) issues its third biennial report, and the committee's report can be a valuable resource in such a review. The report covers four major areas concerning the Lakes and the Agreement: enrichment, toxic contaminants, institutional arrangement and the ecosystem approach and sustainable development.
