	African Great Lakes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Great Lakes of Africa are a series of lakes in and around the Great Rift Valley.
		They include Lake Victoria, the second largest fresh water lake in the world in terms of surface area, and Lake Tanganyika, the world's second largest in terms of volume as well as the second deepest.
		Lake Tanganyika and Lake Kivu both empty into the Congo River system, while Lake Malawi is drained by the Shire River into the Zambezi.

	Great Lakes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sprinkled throughout the lakes are the approximately 35,000 Great Lakes islands, including Manitoulin Island in Lake Huron, the largest island in any inland body of water, and Isle Royale in Lake Superior, the largest island in the largest lake (each island large enough to itself contain multiple lakes).
		Lake Champlain on the border between upstate New York and northwestern Vermont briefly became labelled by the U.S. government as the sixth "Great Lake of the United States" on March 6, 1998, when President Clinton signed Senate Bill 927.
		In the development of ecological problems in the Great Lakes, it was the influx of parasitic lamprey populations after the development of the Erie Canal and the much later Welland Canal that led to the two federal governments attempting to work together – which proved a very complicated and troubled road.

	Special Issue of JGLR on the African Great Lakes (Web Release)
		ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The International Association of Great Lakes Research has often had its greatest focus on the North American Great Lakes, but researchers from North America have learned a great deal from studying large lakes in other parts of the world, and from collaborating with freshwater scientists and managers from other countries.
		The large rift lakes of Africa are the ancient home of great biodiversity; 10% of the world's fish species are found there.
		Located in the tropics, these lakes are very different from the young North American Great Lakes; they contain a high number of indigenous species, the water is resident for much longer periods, and nitrogen is usually a limiting nutrient.

	African American Seaman
		Early in the war, the lack of United States military resources in the Great Lakes region caused the American frontier to be perilously undefended.
		The majority of naval resources destined for the lakes were channelled through Sackets Harbor, New York, the Lake Ontario headquarters for the Great Lakes Command, and Chauncey, as the overall commander of Great Lakes naval operations, was obligated to responsibly allocate those resources.
		As might be expected, the Great Lakes commander was "mortified" when he discovered that Perry ignored the chain of command and complained directly to the Navy Department.

	Cichlid Fishes of the African Great Lakes - National Zoo\| FONZ
		However, from a fish’s viewpoint, the lake is a mosaic of habitats with alternating rocky, sandy, and weedy environments along the shore that isolate fish populations from one another.
		For the African cichlids, the critical parameters of mating success among males are variation in either the intensity of coloration or the form of the mating platforms.
		The fauna of all three lakes is now in extreme peril, due to over-fishing, species introductions, as well as chemical pollution from agricultural pesticides, oil exploration, and the establishment of industries along the shore.

	Audit of Contributions in Support of the African Great Lakes Action Plan (May 2000)
		As a result of the November/December 1996 crisis in the African Great Lakes Region, the African Great Lakes Region Action Plan was developed and approved by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade and the Secretary of State (Latin America and Africa) in February 1997.
		When the Great Lakes Action Plan sought its own spending authority from Treasury Board, Treasury Board recommended that it use the unused spending ceiling of the Peacebuilding Program which was resourced at $1 million but had a ceiling of $2.5 million.
		Due to the volatility of the situation in the African Great Lakes areas at the time of the Contribution Program, many projects which had been approved were either deferred or cancelled.

		The tragic events which are happening in the Great Lakes region, especially since 1990 when Rwanda was invaded by the FPR from Uganda, cannot solely nor principally be understood in terms of the ethnic factor, but rather in terms of conflicts of power within the framework of this neo-colonisation.
		The resources poured into this macro project and the open wounds in the Great Lakes region are such that the realisation of truth, justice, democracy and reconciliation has become an almost impossible task.
		I especially acknowledge his commitment to the fight for the triumph of these values in the region of the African Great Lakes where a great, albeit silenced, tragedy continues to be enacted.
