This study analyzes and evaluates the response to the environmental degradation of the North American Great Lakes. Based on surveys, interviews, and documents, it considers how various levels of government (two national, one provincial, and eight state government bureaucracies) are responding to threats to the lakes' health and seeking to restore it. The book details both successes (of which there are few) and failures (of which there have been many) and identifies the tools which promote sound decisions-making.
