The Great Lakes are cleaner today because of clean-up efforts and pollution prevention initiatives by industry, communities and governments. That’s the conclusion of the Third Report of Progress Under the Canada-Ontario Agreement Respecting the Great Lakes Basin Ecosystem, released today by the Canadian and Ontario governments.

"The Canada-Ontario Agreement (COA) sets aggressive targets for the clean-up of the Great Lakes, the world’s largest freshwater system. With the co-operation of all our partners, we have met many of these and made real progress on others," federal Environment Minister David Anderson said. "In the Great Lakes, discharges of contaminants and persistent toxic substances have dropped, as have the levels of persistent toxic substances in fish and wildlife."

"As a result, sentinel species such as osprey, lake trout and the bald eagle have returned, a clear indication that the Great Lakes are indeed cleaner than they have been in 50 years," Anderson added. "These successes show us the positive benefits of cooperative action."
