![GLIN Site of the Month]() Urbanization and rural
development are placing pressure on western Lake Superior streams
and nearshore zones. LakeSuperiorStreams uses web-based delivery and
interactive animations of real-time stream data to address
sustainability issues in western Superior watersheds. It
incorporates interpretive information, curricula, and a site design
toolkit to educate contractors/consultants, developers/realtors,
students/teachers, homeowners, agencies and decision-makers. A
Regional Stormwater Protection Team (22 organizations) was created
that collaborates to deliver common educational messages, workshops,
tools and approaches to this audience.
