The department will assess ecosystems, evaluate data, determine actions, and implement projects to achieve restoration goals.

Activities:
Some of the workplan activities include:
1) Development and implementation of Lakewide Action and Management Plans for Lakes Superior and Michigan.
2) Coordination of the RAP program for four active AOCs and implementation of management actions.
3) Review and approval of Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPPs).
4) Increase public awareness and participation in Great Lakes restoration programs.
5) Consider the potential impacts of climate change and, to the extent feasible, incorporate resilience when developing and implementing LAMP and AOC programs.

Subrecipient:
The University of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin State Lab will conduct monitoring sample analysis activities.

Outcomes:
Communities in the watershed will benefit from improved water quality as a result of making informed decisions to meet the needs of these communities through the development and implementation of policies and projects of the Lakewide Action and Management Plans (LAMPs) for Lakes Superior and Michigan, as well as the Remedial Action Plans (RAPs) for Wisconsin's Areas of Concern (AOC).
