The Lake Ontario Coastal Initiative, is a public/private, grassroots, regional partnership. The mission of the Lake Ontario Coastal Initiative (LOCI), encompassing all of New York State’s North Coast stakeholders from the Niagara River to the St. Lawrence River, is to enlist and retain broad public commitment for remediation, restoration, protection, conservation and sustainable use of the coastal region. This mission will be accomplished by securing funds and resources to achieve scientific understanding, educate citizens, and implement locally supported priorities, programs and projects as identified through LOCI's Action Agenda, released in 2006 and available on this website (link to Action Agenda)
