Our take
The Great Lakes Fishery Commission is a binational body coordinating fishery science and management across all five Great Lakes, the largest system of fresh surface water on Earth. Its signature work is the decades-long campaign against the invasive sea lamprey, alongside habitat protection, aquatic connectivity, and major research initiatives like FishPass and the Great Lakes Acoustic Telemetry Observation System. This is science-driven, ecosystem-scale stewardship of a resource that defines a whole region, a fit for anyone whose ideal location is the inland seas.
