Following the inception of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) to address the significant environmental issues plaguing the Great Lakes region, the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) Mussel Watch Program (MWP)expanded its regional monitoring activities in the Great Lakes in 2009 to include all U.S. Areas of Concern (AOCs). This enhanced effort falls under the "Toxic Substances and Areas of Concern" Focus Area outlined in the GLRI Action Plan (2010-2014).
