Over the past several years, the Great Lakes Commission has convened an annual meeting of the Great Lakes Tributary Modeling Program partners. These meetings have provided an opportunity for federal, state, NGO, university and private sector partners to come together to discuss priorities for Great Lakes soil conservation, sedimentation, nonpoint source pollution prevention, control, and planning.
