Great Lakes Consortium
for Fish Consumption Advisories

The Great Lakes Consortium for Fish Consumption Advisories (Consortium) is a collaboration of fish advisory program staff from government health, water quality, and fisheries agencies bordering the Great Lakes.

The following goals guide the work of the Consortium:  

• Use, share, and advance credible data and science.
• Evaluate the risks and benefits of consuming Great Lakes fish to develop a shared understanding among Consortium members and incorporate these messages into fish consumption advice.
• Establish and utilize best practices for communicating risks and benefits and influencing the behavior of fish consumers.
• Maintain a strong focus in all activities on developing and harmonizing consistent advice for shared waters.
