Great Lakes Protection Fund

Great Lakes Protection Fund - our mission is to identify, demonstrate, and promote regional action to enhance the health of the #GreatLakes ecosystem.

20% of the world’s freshwater is in the Great Lakes—enough to cover the U.S. in nearly 10 feet of water. Protecting this resource takes collaboration, and we’re proud to support organizations driving real solutions for a healthier future.

How do we break the cycle of fertilizer runoff and water pollution when demand for yields overpowers the potential for eco-practices?

FFAR & the @GLPFund have awarded $1.2M to researchers at the @UMich to look into just that.
