Lake Erie Management Plan (LaMP)
 The OEC is working on many fronts to improve, sustain, and protect the quality of Lake Erie. The Lake Erie Lakewide Management Plan (LaMP) (external link) is a collaboration between the United States, Canada, and many watershed groups, scientists, local officials, and water enthusiasts.
About one-third of the total population of the Great Lakes basin resides within the Lake Erie watershed. In total, approximately twelve million people live in the watershed, including seventeen metropolitan areas with more than 50,000 residents. The lake provides drinking water for about eleven million of these inhabitants. The LaMP unites a network of stakeholders in actions towards a common goal - to restore and protect the Lake Erie ecosystem for future generations.
Lakewide Management Plans
A Lakewide Management Plan, or "LaMP," is a plan of action to assess, restore, protect and monitor the ecosystem health of the Great Lakes. It is used to coordinate the work of all the government, tribal, and non-government partners working to improve the Lake ecosystem. A public consultation process is used to ensure that the LaMP is addressing the public's concerns.
LaMP Listserv
If you are interested in participating in the LaMP Listserv, please contact us at OEC@theOEC.org or (614) 487-7506. The Listserv is a vehicle for the participants to share experiences, successes, questions, and projects.
