    In a world where the demand for fresh surface water increases every year, the
    restoration and protection of the Great Lakes is vital, as the lakes contain 20 percent
    of the world’s and 95 percent of the U.S. fresh surface water supply. Recognizing the
    significance of the Great Lakes to our nation and the need for action, President Obama
    has made restoring the Great Lakes a national priority. Through this commitment to
    U.S. Department of Commerce
    restoring the Great Lakes, $475 million was invested in the region in 2010, by way
    of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI). As one of 15 Federal Agencies
    National Oceanic and
    collaborating with U.S. EPA to implement this effort, the National Oceanic and
    Atmospheric Administration
    Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) was allocated $29.72 million to help accomplish
    restoration goals using its ground-breaking science, data products and services,

    NOAA is making significant contributions to the GLRI through each of the projects
    listed below. By expanding and enhancing many well-established programs, and
    by advancing the science in many areas that have been identified as critical to the
    success of the Initiative, NOAA is adhering to the GLRI principles of accountability,
    action, and urgency.
