In addition to presentations given & the information shared at the workshop, participants will be asked to provide recommendations on how legislators & state government programs can assist citizens in what could be an extended period pf lower than average lake levels. The great lakes water levels community workshop, has been scheduled at the request of the Wisconsin Coastal Management Council & the Wisconsin Coastal Management Program in partnership with the UW Sea Grant Institute, the Departments of Natural Resources & transportation, & the Wisconsin Waterways Commission.
