Through events, advocacy, educational programs, and grass-roots campaigns, LCI engages local, regional, and national stakeholders, both public and private, in addressing complicated issues facing Lake Champlain. Water quality is a ubiquitous cause; all of our efforts engage multiple stakeholder groups to simultaneously connect people with our water resources, carry on the angling heritage, and build stewardship for a vital resource.

We firmly believe that people hold the key to Lake Champlain's future. To ensure the future of our lake as a premier fishery, economic engine, and recreational resource, we must all do our part to address the issues head-on.

Lake Champlain MUST BE swimmable, drinkable, and fishable if we are to maintain our quality of life and that of our children and future generations.

 

Your work at Lake Champlain International has been instrumental in securing the future of Lake Champlain. All of us who enjoy its waters every year are very grateful for your dedication.
Many thanks for the work that you do.
— Senator Patrick Leahy
