Lake St. Clair Coastal Habitat Restoration and Conservation

Project Teams
The Lake St. Clair Coastal Habitat project is administered through a multi-tiered structure featuring a Project Management Team, a Project Advisory Committee, and a Core Group. Together, these teams are developing the draft coastal habitat plan the Integrated Coastal Management tool and the Lake St. Clair coastal habitat web site that will feature these two products and other resources online.
