About
The Problem:
Nonpoint source pollution is a major threat to Michigan's waters as well as the Great Lakes. Nutrient and sediment input to water bodies across the state have led to massive algal and plant growth, increased turbidity, decreased oxygen levels, decreased biodiversity, and a downward trend in overall water quality. Focusing Action Solutions: The "Flint River Nutrient Reduction: Focusing Action" Project, funded through EPA by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, will enhance the capacity of leaders and organizations working in the Saginaw Basin to positively impact their communities and the waters of the Great Lakes. Through the project's enhanced technical assistance and outreach efforts, adoption and implementation of nutrient management strategies will be accelerated. The project seeks to achieve a larger beneficial impact on agricultural non-point source (NPS) pollution than would be attained using current approaches. |
