Visit the website of the Lake Superior Binational Forum.
Since 1991, the Lake Superior Binational Forum has served as the principal public body working with the governments responsible for implementing the Lake Superior Binational Program and its Lakewide Management Plan. The purpose of the Forum is to further consultation and participation among government, industry and environmental stakeholders on the restoration and protection of Lake Superior. The Forum is composed of Canadian and American stake-holders from around Lake Superior representing environmental, Tribal/First Nations, industrial, business, recreational, tourism, health, labor, and academic interests.
The Forum has also carried out Public Input Sessions centering on Lake Superior's environmental Areas of Concern (AOC), invasive species, the Lake Superior National Marine Conservation Area, reduction of toxic chemicals entering Lake Superior and other topics. Additionally, the Forum has partnered with other organizations to carry out projects related to habitat restoration, pollution prevention and public outreach.
Funding support for the Lake Superior Binational Forum comes from Environment Canada and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. EcoSuperior is contracted by Environment Canada to coordinate the Canadian Secretariat for the Forum.
