Summary

The March 2013 Beaver Beacon reported that Restore Our Water International, a U.S.-Canadian coalition, was seeking action over declining Lakes Michigan and Huron levels. The report described participating shoreline and commercial interests and summarized the chairman’s proposed explanation and remedy.

Evidence limits

This preserves a newspaper report of an advocacy coalition and its claims. It does not independently verify the hydrologic explanation, the reported 20-inch effect, or the coalition’s subsequent activity.
