U.S. EPA will host a series of public engagement sessions this summer to update the public on the GLRI and to seek their input on future priorities. See EPA news release 6/1/18
At these sessions, members of the public will be able to
- learn more about the GLRI Action Plan development process,
- talk with representatives from EPA and other agencies, and

- habitat and species
- future restoration actions
