Lake Superior Binational Program celebrates 15 years of lake protection and restoration

Ashland - At the headwaters of the Great Lakes sprawls mighty Lake Superior, the cleanest and healthiest of the five lakes that make up 20 percent of the world's freshwater. Since 1991, citizens and organizations from around the lake's basin have collaborated through the Lake Superior Binational Program to make sure Lake Superior stays that way.

Celebrating its 15th anniversary in 2006, the Program was established through an agreement among federal, state, provincial, and tribal governments that share access to Lake Superior. The program works to unify conservation efforts, keep the public informed on important issues, and advise lawmakers on how best to protect the lake.
