Habitat Restoration Database

About the Habitat Restoration Database

Welcome to the Great Lakes Regional Habitat Restoration Database. This site is a compilation of restoration monitoring reports and data collected during habitat restoration projects implemented through National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA)- Great Lakes Commission (GLC) Regional Partnerships. Four Partnerships have been completed (2008, 2013, 2016, and 2019) and one is currently being implemented (2023). To date, these Partnerships have provided approximately $70 million in Great Lakes Restoration Initiative funding to habitat restoration projects throughout the Great Lakes Basin.

The site currently has information on a dozen project areas that were funded through these NOAA-GLC Regional Partnerships. A general overview of the metrics associated with projects in each priority area is provided in the main page with accompanying data sets and reports found in the menu on the left-hand side of the page.

These environmental data and related items of information have not been formally disseminated by NOAA, and do not represent and should not be construed to represent any agency determination, view, or policy.
