Generations of Michigan kids have grown up playing on Great Lakes beaches. Families across the state rely on the lakes to provide safe, clean water, but today there is good reason to be concerned about the health of our Great Lakes.
Harmful algae blooms, aging oil pipelines, invasive species and other challenges threaten our continued enjoyment of the incredible resource that, quite literally, shapes our state. Protecting our Great Lakes will always be at the heart of MEC’s mission -- they are an economic driver, a source of clean drinking water, and a core part of our identity as Michiganders.
