The Freshwater Lab is an initiative that raises awareness about water issues in the Great Lakes and empowers people to claim and protect the most vital public asset.

We work with students, policy makers, community members, researchers, artists and government officials to address pressing challenges and create a stable, prosperous future for the region. Investing in this future includes training a new generation of Great Lakes leaders.
