Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The health of the Great Lakes ecosystem is in jeopardy. While a number of remediation and other activities have been pursued through the years to address Great Lakes problems, additional actions are urgently needed to restore system elements, particularly in critical nearshore/tributary zones where a chain reaction of adaptive responses to a suite of stresses may be leading to catastrophic changes: ecosystem breakdown and potentially irreversible ecosystem collapse. Without at least partial restoration of these areas, the negative symptoms being observed in the Great Lakes will likely intensify and could degrade irreversibly. Concurrently, actions are needed to control or eliminate sources of basinwide threats to the essential biological, physical, and chemical components of the Great Lakes' ecosystem stability and health. Finally, large areas of the Great Lakes basin waters remain relatively healthy and productive and they provide a wide range of benefits to the people of the region. Protecting the remaining areas from further stress is significantly more cost-effective than attempting restoration after damage has occurred. In summary, [1] Historically, when faced with a particularly damaging ecosystem impact, policy responses have focused on particular symptoms and not on the integrated sources of stress that cause these symptoms. [2] To increase the effectiveness of policy and on-the-ground restoration, sources of stress and, especially, interactions between those sources need to be explicitly considered. [3] One way to prioritize efforts is to focus on specific geographic areas that have experienced ecosystem breakdown and develop efforts to address the multiple sources of stress that have contributed to these impacts. [4] Some major sources of stress to the Great Lakes have broad implications and need to be addressed basin-wide since the sources (and their impacts) are not always limited to single locations. [5] Watershed-based approaches offer the best opportunity to protect existing basin waters by establishing sustainable land and water use development practices."--Summary.

Book excerpt: This edited volume while focusing on participatory governance in the Great Lakes basin of North America also gives a comparative perspective of the African Great Lakes. The book describes the actions taken at degraded locations along the Great Lakes in North America through Remedial Action Plans (RAP) and other mechanisms, with an aim to highlight the successes and failures encountered in ecosystembased regenerative approaches. The book documents these experiences including the lead taken by industry in improving environmental quality of the Great Lakes. The book concludes with lessons learnt about revitalizing the ecosystem integrity of the lakes, which can be replicated in other watersheds of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize Winner of the J. Anthony Lukas Award "Nimbly splices together history, science, reporting and personal experiences into a taut and cautiously hopeful narrative.… Egan’s book is bursting with life (and yes, death)." —Robert Moor, New York Times Book Review The Great Lakes—Erie, Huron, Michigan, Ontario, and Superior—hold 20 percent of the world’s supply of surface fresh water and provide sustenance, work, and recreation for tens of millions of Americans. But they are under threat as never before, and their problems are spreading across the continent. The Death and Life of the Great Lakes is prize-winning reporter Dan Egan’s compulsively readable portrait of an ecological catastrophe happening right before our eyes, blending the epic story of the lakes with an examination of the perils they face and the ways we can restore and preserve them for generations to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voices for the Watershed is a unique look at the singular and ecologically inter-connected region of the Great Lakes-St Lawrence watershed, including the headwater and upland regions. With contributions from experts from the United States, Quebec, and Ontario, this book offers an accessible introduction to the issues affecting the quality of our most essential and precious of natural resources - clean, fresh water - from headwater regions downstream to the Great lakes, the St Lawrence river, and ultimately the watershed's outflow to the sea. With thoughtful words and evocative photography, Voices for the Watershed promotes understanding and examines ecological problems, describing positive environmental actions and projects as well as ongoing concerns over the effects of pollution on wildlife and human health. The underlying themes throughout are that the drainage basins and ecosystems are under siege - from reckless land use decisions, soil erosion, acid rain, and massive habitat destruction - but that the situation is not hopeless. The authors feel strongly that education about the environmental threats - in the classroom and public forums - is essential to effecting positive change, and that conservation actions by citizen groups and individuals can be a driving force in effecting substantial reforms regarding environmental legislation and practices. Voices for the Watershed is an eye-opening look at not only the problems but possible solutions to help protect and preserve this resilient natural resource on which so many depend.
