Name:Great Lakes Information Network. URL: http://www.great-lakes.net/. By Great Lakes Information Network. rating Review: The website that focused on the Great Lakes was filled with valuable information. The most usage this about the site were the clear topics to choose from which included: economy, ecosystem, education, environment, water levels, tourism, weather, and climate. The array of topics is very useful in finding information quickly and easily. As the site went into more detail it got a litlle boring and old. So they shouldn't have so much infomation on one site it makes this confusing for users. Other then that I was pleased with the website and would return to it for more information at a further date.

The title of the site I visited was The Department of Environmental Conservation. It's at http//www.dec.state.ny.us. The agency is the DEC. I think that this is a very good site because it gives the rules and regulations about what can be done and can't be done in the waters of New York State. Along with this they also have other things on their webpage including environmental protection, outdoors and natural resources, and education and information. I give the site 4 stars

It told about the ecosystems of the Great Lakes and education programs that were going on to make people aware of the problems. It also gave up to date information about the lakes like, the water levels, weather, and climate. It told about how the two goverments were working together to clean up the lakes.

It has very good graphics that are very eye catching and gain your attention and interest as well. It talks about things other than factual information on lake physiology. More things like how lake Superior is the most dangerous of the great lakes and about the ships it has sunk. It gives you access to press releases, policies and shipwreck stories too. This site makes me want to take a field trip to this museum and see all I can of the history of the great lakes. It seems to gain more of my interest by talking of shipwrecks, old diving suits, and light houses.

Michigan Land Use Institute: Great Lakes Bulletin http://www.mlui.org/html/publications.html Webmaster: Keith Schneider (e-mail: keith@mlui.org) An organization out of Michigan published this site regarding the Great Lakes Region. This quarterly publication is printed in order to inform those who live in the Michigan area to become more involved with the decision regarding it. It includes some recent acts passed and current events that have gone on in the area. This site is not very useful for our Great Lakes class due to its concentration on the Michigan area. However, I will rate it * and a ^ because it is somewhat useful in looking for information regarding Lake Michigan only.

I thought it was a helpful site. ****

Our Great Lakes/Great Lakes Beyond 2000 http://www.cciw.ca/glimr/glrenewal Webmaster: Scott Monds (e-mail: Scott.Monds@ec.gc.ca) Summary: This site is an excellent source for general Great Lakes information. On it, you can find many articles and info on the work that is going to be done in the region for the next few years. These issues are of particular importance, I think, to keep in mind, as we discuss the environmental issues of the Great Lakes. As you can see from this site, there is much that is being planned in the region to prevent such environmental issues from continuing or reoccurring. This site provides ways in which you can get involved too! Definitely worth a visit! I rate this site ****! Check it out!
