The Great Lakes

The five Great Lakes: Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario, together with the St. Lawrence River are among the world's most precious natural resources. The Great Lakes basin is the world's largest freshwater ecosystem, home to some 40 million Canadians and Americans, and countless species of animals, birds, fish and plants.
