Title
Lake Erie Binational Public Forum
Description
In 1993, the United States and Canada began planning for the Lake Erie Lakewide Management Plan (LaMP). The goal of the LaMP is the restoration and protection of the beneficial uses of Lake Erie.
Public participation in the development and implementation of the LaMP was recognized as a critical component to its success. The government agencies involved held a series of four workshops around the basin in 1995 to solicit public input in identifying ecosystem objectives for Lake Erie. These workshops brought members of the public together with agency representatives to direct Lake Erie LaMP efforts. These early workshops set the stage for what was to become a working group of concerned, involved residents of the Lake Erie basin who have joined together as the Lake Erie Binational Public Forum.
Forum members provide input on the planning and implementation of the LaMP, and provide a means of fostering effective two-way communication with the diverse population of the Lake Erie basin. Forum members come together three times annually, at locations around the basin, to work on tasks associated with the goals of the Lake Erie LaMP. Due to the widespread geographical dispersal of Forum members, meeting locations are alternated on each side of the border to eliminate any unfair travel burdens.
