Personal: I feel that great lakes really help out the environment. It gives the fish and other organisms places to live other than the Ocean and Rivers. It keeps all of the water organisms spaced out where it would be packed and if they were all in the Oceans and Rivers.They are also a place for where us humans are able to enjoy. You can fish and go on boat rides, but also enjoy the pretty views around the Lakes.
