This manual was developed for those interested in protecting rivers and lakes through the usage of rain gardens. The manual will benefit the homeowners, landscape architects and city planners.

Just as a gardener hopes that their scattered seeds will eventually bloom into a lush garden, Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant awards Discovery Grants, or ‘seed’ grants, to a number of projects in the hopes that the initiatives will grow into something larger. This publication highlights research on stream water contamination, Asian carp, fish consumption safety, and more.

This publication answers local community questions about the revitalization of the Grand Calumet River Area of Concern in NW Indiana. Habitat restoration and sediment cleanup work under the Great Lakes Legacy Act began in 2009 and is expected to last another decade.

This video welcomes people and partners to the benefits of restoring degraded rivers, harbors, and lakes. It simplifies the Great Lakes Legacy Act sediment cleanup process.
