More DescriptionThis monograph provides an in-depth look at the remediation and restoration of the forty-three most polluted areas of the Great Lakes, which are designated Areas of Concern (AOCs). This restoration effort, a collaboration between Canada and the United States, is unique in that it has fostered the use of locally designed ecosystem approaches to restoring impaired beneficial uses, as called for in the Canada-U.S. Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. In total, thirty-seven Canadian and U.S. scientists contributed to this comprehensive evaluation of what has been achieved and learned from more than three decades of remediation and restoration efforts.
