Celebrating ten years protecting Lake Huron's Coast The Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation is celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2008. Geoff Peach of the Centre says the Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation received its Letters Patent, and its charitable status in 1998. Formed as an advocate for Lake Huron's coastal environment, the Centre has had many successes in its short history. Along with being awarded a number of grants to carry out its conservation mission, the Centre was presented with the Bi-national "State of the Lakes Ecosystem Conference" (SOLEC) award in 2004. This award recognized our work as making a significant contribution to the improvement of the Great Lakes environment. Concerned with the state of the Lake's environment, including near shore water quality, biodiversity, coastal processes and climate change, the Coastal Centre undertakes research, education and community outreach to build a stronger sense of awareness and stewardship within the coastal community.
