By tallying up the results from our three categories of econimc value of the water,commercial fisheries and sport fishing, it was found that the Great Lakes were estimated to be worth around $3.4724771 x1 exp.15. Again this is a very rough estimate, but we believe it shows how important this water basin is to not only Canada and the U.S.A, but to all of North America. Not included in this approximation is the importance of the Great Lakes to other industries, such as shipping and energy production and their social value, which would be almost impossible to put a price tag on (Borre, L. et al.1996).
