The complete Lakewide Management Plan for Lake Superior can be accessed on the website of the Lake Superior Binational Forum.

Since 1991, as called for in the Canada-U.S. Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, the Lake Superior Lakewide Management Plan (LaMP) has provided an assessment of the state of the Lake Superior ecosystem, including its ecological impairments, emerging issues and their causes, and gaps in knowledge which require further research and monitoring. The LaMP has also identified additional actions required to achieve LaMP goals and targets.

Lake Superior Binational Program partners are continuing to develop and implement the LaMP. The many accomplishments of both the Zero Discharge Demonstration Program (ZDDP) and the Broader Program (the two components of the Binational Program) reinforce the concept of the Lake Superior LaMP as an exemplary model for binational cooperative ecosystem management of the Great Lakes. The Lake Superior Binational Forum has been an integral part of efforts to establish and implement the LaMP. The entire LaMP document can be accessed at the Lake Superior Binational Forum.

We gratefully acknowledge the funding from the Ontario Ministry of Environment that supports our LaMP activities and programs.
