Participant proposed session are welcomed.  Concurrent workshop sesssions will be grouped into three theme categories: 1) sustainability of Great Lakes ecosystems (e.g. invasive species, urban watersheds and storm water management, beaches and coastal issues, data sharing, and non-point source pollution), sustainable use of urban lands (e.g. local food production, sustainable agriculture in urban areas, and vacant land management), and public health (e.g. chemicals of emerging concern, fish consumption, and public health education).
