Tell Congress: Protect the Great Lakes in 2025

A young boy stands on the shoreline at sunrise.

Too many Great Lakers experience polluted water – whether it’s lead-tainted tap water or harmful algal blooms fouling our waterways. Invasive species threaten our lakes, and plastic pollutes our beaches and drinking water.   

The federal government plays an essential role in addressing these problems. We know that debates about federal funding and regulation for the environment are in the headlines right now. But our Great Lakes region has made it clear time and time again that our lakes and clean water are priority one. That message is more critical than ever today. 

Tell Congress to protect the Great Lakes this year:

  • Ensure clean water protects the health of people and natural resources
  • Fund and reauthorize the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative  
  • Pass a Farm Bill that prioritizes clean water
  • Pass legislation to stop plastic pollution
  • Protect the Great Lakes from aquatic invasive species
