• Description:
  A sense of regionalism, a shared interest among and between the Basin's state, provincial and federal jurisdictions, has re-emerged in unprecedented strength and placed Great Lakes resource management and economic development considerations high on the policy agenda of the region's leaders. This re-emergent "regional consciousness" has, in turn, prompted concerted attention toward the "institutional ecosystem" for Great Lakes management. A sense of immediacy has been brought to bear on a long-standing yet long-ignored need, a need to understand the roles, responsibilities and interactions of publicly funded, multi-jurisdictional organizations; to assess their individual and collective ability to address resource management needs; and to devise alternative means of strengthening this Great Lakes "institutional ecosystem." Presented within are key excerpts from an exhaustive study to address these pressing needs.
