THE ALLIANCE ALSO RECORDED MORE THAN 500,000 POUNDS OF LITTER REMOVED FROM GREAT LAKES BEACHES IN THE HISTORY OF ITS VOLUNTEER ADOPT-A-BEACH PROGRAM, THE LARGEST PROGRAM OF ITS KIND IN THE REGION. 620978 LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS: LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS BUILD MORE CAPACITY FOR GREAT LAKES WATER PROTECTION AT THE COMMUNITY LEVEL. IN CLEVELAND, IN CONJUCTION WITH LOCAL FRONTLINE ENVIRONMENTAL PARTNERS, WE DEVELOPED A CLEVELAND-FOCUSED CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND ADVOCACY CURRICULUM TO SUPPORT A GROWING NETWORK WORKING TOWARD SHARED WATER POLICY GOALS. WE ALSO WORKED TO STRENGTHEN THE CLEVELAND ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCACY COALITION AND TO DEVELOP JOINT POLICY PRIORITIES AND AN ADVOCACY STRATEGY.

THE ALLIANCE ADVOCATED FOR AND SECURED A 90% FEDERAL COST SHARE OF THE BRANDON ROAD LOCK & DAM PROJECT TO STOP INVASIVE CARP FROM ENTERING THE LAKES AND HELPED SECURE THE FIRST YEAR OF CONSTRUCTION FUNDING. WE RELEASED NEW DATA SHOWING THAT DOWNSTREAM DRINKING WATER RATEPAYERS IN OHIO ARE PAYING INCREASED COSTS FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO THEIR WATER SYSTEMS DUE TO LAKE ERIE POLLUTION CREATED BY AGRICULTURAL OPERATORS AND USED THIS REPORT TO URGE OHIO DECISION MAKERS TO IMPROVE THEIR POLLUTION CONTROL PLANS.
