FOX LAKE INLAND LAKE P & R DISTRICT: Fox Lake Water Quality Monitoring, Plankton Survey

Purpose

Monitor water chemistry on Fox Lake weekly from mid May through September during 1995 to enhance the existing water quality database. Survey phytoplankton and zooplankton to better understand their roles in the lake's ecosystem.Monitor dissolved oxygen in the lake for several weeks to observe oxygen levels 24 hours per day. Identify if wind resuspension of bottom sediment is a mechanism for th erelease of nutrients into the water column through a series of lab bioassay tests.Disseminate information to the public by newsletter mailings, fact sheet distributions, pubic meetings, local newspaper articles and a comprehensive management plan.
