THE PURPOSE OF THIS AWARD TO THE ST. CROIX WATERSHED RESEARCH STATION (SCWRS) IS TO FUND ANALYSIS OF WATER SAMPLES FOR NUTRIENT AND CHLOROPHYLL LEVELS AND IDENTIFY DIATOMS FROM LAKE SEDIMENT. ALL WATER AND SEDIMENT SAMPLES WILL BE COLLECTED BY THE GREAT LAKES INVENTORY AND MONITORING NETWORK (GLKN). SCWRS WILL DELIVER WATER QUALITY AND DIATOM DATA TO GLKN. GLKN AND SCWRS WILL COLLABORATE ON DATA ANALYSIS AND RELATE TRENDS IN THOSE PARAMETERS TO WATER QUALITY CONDITIONS AND THE POTENTIAL IMPACT TO AQUATIC LIFE, SUCH AS GAME FISH, IN NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAKES AND RIVERS. BOTH PARK RESOURCE MANAGERS AND THE PUBLIC WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS WORK BY UNDERSTANDING THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THE LAKES AND RIVERS, AND THE BIOTA (E.G., GAME FISH) THAT RESIDE IN THEM, AND AS WELL AS THE ABILITY SUPPORT PUBLIC USES SUCH AS DRINKING WATER, FISHING, AND OVERALL AESTHETICS.
