Why "Ecoregion?" > We chose ecoregion for our network name because it represents the ecological boundaries of the broader Great Lakes system, spanning the U.S.-Canada border, and embracing the sovereign nations of the many first nations and tribes that call the Great Lakes region home. We also chose ecoregion, because it aligns with the aspirations of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement to safeguard Great Lakes water quality through the sustaining and restoring of the integrity of the region’s chemical, physical and biological systems.
