In the fall, a report was submitted by the Great Lakes Water Quality Board to the IJC summarizing the reaction of the agricultural community and the public to recommendations put forward around manure management in the Great Lakes.
Overall, there was agreement in four areas: assessing and co-ordinating regulatory oversight using Ontario as a model, strengthening manure management rules and policies, funding to support agriculture and understanding the international and indigenous context.
Mark Wales, who is on the Board, will be doing a presentation during our webinar on January 29th, noted below.
