Return to Search

Purpose

This initiative focuses on catalyzing restoration successes in Wisconsin’s five Areas of Concern by harnessing the energy of local and state advisory teams. It includes facilitating technical and citizen advisory committees as well as developing delisting strategies, standardized evaluation tools, and educational programs. Explore and Restore our Great Lakes and the Rivers that Feed Them is the unifying theme under which the University of Wisconsin-Extension will support Area of Concern advisory committees in collaboration with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

Objective

The effective project area includes Lake Michigan and Lake Superior AOCs within Wisconsin – Milwaukee Estuary AOC, Sheboygan River and Harbor AOC, Green Bay/Fox River AOC, Menominee River AOC and St. Louis River AOC. The objective of this project is to develop delisting strategies, standardized evaluation tools, and educational programs in conjunction with local and state advisory committees so as to catalyze restoration successes in the five AOCs.
