About
About American Great Lakes Ports Association
The American Great Lakes Ports Association (AGLPA) is a trade association that advocates for the interests of commercial ports across the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence Seaway, promoting policies to foster maritime commerce and related employment. Its members are Great Lakes seaway ports and industry stakeholders; AGLPA recently released its 2024 policy agenda and led member delegations to Capitol Hill to press for port infrastructure funding and projects (e.g., Soo Lock, dredging, icebreaking).
