Project Duration: 2007-2008

The Michigan Lake and Stream Associations, Inc. (MLSA) received funding to collect biological, habitat, and water quality data for streams entering and leaving lakes monitored in the existing Cooperative Lakes Monitoring Program, another MiCorps volunteer program. MLSA established a new program to monitor inlet and outlet streams from selected associated lakes and established macroinvertebrate and habitat monitoring along with stream discharge and nutrient sampling. They proposed to begin the program around 14 lakes in four watersheds - a total of 56 monitoring sites.
