Methods of Restoring Degraded Areas in the Great Lakes

  • Chapter
Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology

Part of the book series: Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology ((RECT,volume 117))

Abstract

Most, if not all ecosystems throughout the world have been contaminated, depleted or irreversibly altered. Even in our attempts to correct past exploitation, development/redevelopment is still being pursued. Therefore, there is a growing need to integrate ecosystem and social development goals. The integration of these goals, which are often seen as antithetical, demands an understanding of the interrelationships between biotic and abiotic resources and the involvement of industry, government and the public in the management of the ecosystem. Successful restoration cannot be accomplished without adequate knowledge and its effective application through institutional arrangements.
