MEET THE

SLRRC

Meet the St. Lawrence River Restoration Council (SLRRC), a dedicated team of community members, scientists, and stakeholders working together to restore and protect the St. Lawrence River. The SLRRC was formed in 1998 in order to oversee and address the Beneficial Use Impairments (BUIs) that were identified in the St. Lawrence River (Cornwall/Akwesasne) Area of Concern.
