Alliance for the Great Lakes

Mission: To protect, conserve, and restore the Great Lakes, ensuring healthy water in the lakes and in our communities for all generations of people and wildlife.

The Alliance for the Great Lakes is a nonpartisan nonprofit working across the Great Lakes region to protect our most precious resource: the fresh, clean, and natural waters of the Great Lakes. We are active in advocacy, volunteering, education, and research. Each year, through the Adopt-a-Beach program, thousands of volunteers work to keep the Great Lakes shorelines healthy by removing litter from our beaches and collecting important data.

Services and programming of The Alliance for the Great Lakes include:

• Advocacy for policies to protect the Great Lakes from pollution and environmental threats
• Community clean-up events, such as Adopt-a-Beach programs
• Educational initiatives to raise awareness about water conservation and environmental stewardship
• Research and policy recommendations on issues affecting the Great Lakes, like invasive species and climate change
• Collaboration with local organizations and stakeholders to promote sustainable water management and conservation
