A website to bring together people and solutions to protect and restore the health of the world's lakes

LakeNet was a global network of people and organizations in more than 100 countries dedicated to the conservation and sustainable development of lake ecosystems. The network was guided by an international steering committee with regional representatives in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas.

From 1998-2008, the network was supported by the LakeNet Secretariat (formerly Monitor International), a U.S.-based nonprofit organization governed by a 15-member Board of Trustees and supported by a team of professional staff.

Vision
Our vision is a world of healthy lakes that support thriving human and natural communities.
