How will environmental regulation and enforcement change under the new administration?
The EPA and other federal agencies are charged with safeguarding the environment, including the Great Lakes — and a new President could mean big changes. Under the Trump administration, EPA staff was cut by more than 20%, and enforcement actions dipped sharply. Environmental advocates around the Great Lakes region hope the Biden administration will reverse those trends.
