This article is about the North American Great Lakes. For the African lakes, see African Great Lakes. For region, see Great Lakes region (North America). For other uses of this term, see Great Lakes (disambiguation). The Great Lakes are a collection of freshwater lakes located in northeastern North America, on the Canada – United States border. Consisting of Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario, they form the largest group of freshwater lakes on Earth by total surface and volume.^[1]^[2] The total surface is 208,610 km² (80,545 sq mi), and the total volume is 22,560 km³ (5,412 cu mi) The lakes are sometimes referred to as the North Coast or "Third Coast" by some citizens of the United States. The Great Lakes hold 21 percent of the world's surface fresh water

In this section, include a brief description of the allocated ecosystem. You should include the following information:

Location of the ecosystem

Description of ecosystem
^{wet tropical system from the south and the Gulf of Mexico}
Biodiversity of ecosystem (richness of life in ecosystem)
These, of course, also affect aquatic food chains, fish populations, and human health
