Great Lakes Fishery Commission

Every wonder what the Great Lakes Fishery Commission, along with each individual Lake Committee, was all about? Did you ever wish you could find out more about the various situations about the forage base in Lake Michigan or Lake Huron right from the scientists who do the research and publish the results? Well, here is a link to the Commission’s website where all of that information can be accessed. Feel free to visit often to get the latest updates. Our Great Lakes are “under attack” from many different forces and not everyone is interested in protecting these wondrous resources, as history has proven time and time again! Education is a wonderful resource!
