Great Rivers Partnership: Mission and Strategy
The Great Rivers Partnership will advance sustainable management of the Mississippi River system, and share knowledge and expertise to inform the management of other great rivers by:
1) convening diverse interests as an honest broker to synthesize stakeholder perspectives with best science and practice to support a shared vision, and actionable programs, policies, and partnerships
2) acting as a solutions provider and innovator in cooperation with a global network of expertise that helps inform and solve the most critical management challenges, through projects that demonstrate a systems approach using science-based adaptive management
3) communicating as a unified expert voice on pertinent issues so as to build an informed constituency for the Mississippi River system and great rivers around the world
