Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Governor's Conference on Lake Michigan, Illinois' Great Lake: Protecting and Developing a Valuable Natural Resource; Proceedings of the Fourteenth Annual Enr Conference, September 26 and 27, 1985, Chicago, Illinois If there is any truth to the saying, Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm, then great things must surely come from the September 1985 Governor's Conference on Illinois' Great Lake Lake Michigan. The remarkable enthusiasm shown by the 300 Conference participants and guests concerning the activity, controversy and questions centering around the Great Lakes will long be a high point for me as the Director of the Illinois Department of Energy and Natural Resources. Well versed speakers and panelists from government, the private sector and academia provided a candid exchange of ideas necessary for all of us to fully appreciate the significance of, and our dependence upon, the Great Lakes as a source of water, recreation, fishing, transportation and natural beauty. A multi-talented coalition of Great Lakes specialists taught us about past, present and future dangers to these inland seas. Also, we were challenged and encouraged to learn about the enlightened approaches currently being taken to eliminate these threats. Prudent Great Lakes management efforts and an efficient scientific and political Support system to improve these efforts is the clear message contained in the following Conference proceedings. As you read through the papers presented by our scientists and political leaders, keep in mind that Great Lakes' water is international in nature. It flows into and around the provinces and states of Canada and the United States, and necessitates a common bond in protecting and improving our Great Lakes. As Illinois Governor James Thompson and Indiana Governor Robert Orr both noted in their Conference Speeches, our economies and the quality of life of our citizens and future generations depend on the positive action we are taking and need to take in the future to protect and preserve the Lakes.
