| The
Glossary of the Great Lakes is divided into three sections. Section I contains an alphabetically arranged list
of scientific terms, as well as state, federal, and international regulations,
initiatives, and organizations. The glossary is designed to be useful both for
gaining a general sense of what a term means and for getting more detailed answers
to questions. Each of the longer entries begins with a simple overview statement,
sufficient for many readers, followed by more detail. Linked terms within a definition
are defined elsewhere in the glossary. Acronyms are listed in italics next to
each term. Section 2 contains acronyms
and abbreviations with their most commonly used pronunciations and definitions.
Acronyms for which no pronunciation is given are typically just spelled out. |
