Draft Category Assessments and
Indicator Reports

Draft State of the Great Lakes 2009 indicator reports and category assessments will be available for SOLEC participants in advance of the conference. These reports and category assessments will be prepared by various authors from many agencies and organizations in order to assist with assessing the overall state of the Great Lakes.

The draft indicator reports will be posted on this site as they become available. Please visit this registration site regularly to download these draft indicator reports in advance of the conference.

These draft indicator reports will be reviewed prior to, during and post conference. Comments on these draft materials will be invited through January 16, 2009. The final indicator reports will be posted online in the winter of 2009. An online, searchable website will be developed in the future in order to allow for easy navigation through the current and previous indicator reports, indicator descriptions and assessments.
