Robinson examines twenty of the forty-eight sites included in the \u003ci\u003eAreas of Concern Program\u003c\/i\u003e of the \u003ci\u003eGreat Lakes Water Quality Agreement\u003c\/i\u003e between Canada and the US. These twenty include heavily urbanized locales such as those along the River Rouge and Detroit River, but also more pristine locales such as the St. Louis River that flows through Duluth. Additionally, Robinson examines challenging river restorations within the northeastern industrial corridor which are led by effective local environmental advocacy organizations: the Penobscot Nation of Indigenous People, the Mystic River Watershed Association, and the Housatonic River Valley Association. All of these river restorations are led and managed by the environmental experts of (i) state and federal agencies, (ii) academia, and (iii) environmental NGOs. Local restorations of industrially degraded water bodies now compose a significant segment of the environmental movement and, ultimately, Robinson demonstrates that local environmental advocacy organizations\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ecan help marshal state and local funding for those efforts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2023-05-01\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031284380\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-28439-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 434\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45588213104780,"sku":"9783031284380","price":143.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031284380.jpg?v=1779061181","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031284380","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
