This volume contains material on the priorities the International Joint Commission chose to have addressed during the 1993-1995 biennial cycle. Various groups had the primary or lead responsibility for addressing the several priorities, including the two Boards established under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement the Great Lakes Water Quality Board and the Great Lakes Science Advisory Board as well as the Council of Great Lakes Research Managers, the Indicators for Evaluation Task Force, the Lake Erie Task Force and International Joint Commission staff who arrange for the review of Remedial Action Plans under Annex 2 of the Agreement.
The priorities summary icludes brief overviews and recommendations made by lead and supporting groups on each priority. References to more detailed material in subsequent chapters are provided at the end of each priority summary.
The following chapters are the reports of the various groups. No attempt has been made to harmonize the chapters, as each represents the views of the group which produced it, as it provides its independent advice to the Commission.
