In New York, the Great Lakes Commission has worked to restore nearly two miles of shoreline and twenty acres of habitat at eight sites along the lower Buffalo River, supported by NOAA through Great Lakes Restoration Initiative funding.
Investments in Great Lakes habitat restoration will benefit local economies, strengthen healthy ecosystems and fisheries, and support resilient communities.
NOAA and partners have completed the final stage of restoration in an effort to remove Michigan’s Manistique River from a list of "toxic hot spots" in the Great Lakes.
$8.9 million recommended for investment toward Great Lakes habitat restoration will benefit economies, strengthen healthy ecosystems and fisheries, and support resilient communities.
