2026-2027 Catalog

This course maps the legal and policy architecture that governs Great Lakes fish and wildlife—from the 1909 Boundary Waters Treaty to the 2012 revision of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement; from the 1954 Convention on Great Lakes Fisheries (and the sea lamprey program it launched) to the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resources Compact; from federal funding mechanisms for fisheries and wildlife to tribal treaty rights and co-management. We focus relentlessly on translation: how these instruments shape what agencies and tribes do on the water and on the ground.
