Grant Purpose - The Instream Flow Council, a nongovernmental organization formed by state and provincial agency personnel in the United States and Canada, works to improve the effectiveness of instream flow policies through a variety of programs, including an annual meeting. For the first time, the council is opening its annual conference to a wider audience, including freshwater conservation organizations from the Great Lakes basin and southeastern United States.
