Building on successes in on-the-ground and in-the-water conservation across the Great Lakes basin, the Conservancy has selected a set of demonstration projects to test and prove effective conservation strategies. In turn, these projects will be used as models to be replicated by the Conservancy and its partners, providing an impact at a scale that will ensure the health of the Great Lakes now and in the future. To accomplish this, the Conservancy is focusing its efforts in six strategic conservation areas.
