Reports and Documents
The primary goal of this project was to complete a Comprehensive Management Plan for Lake Metonga. Studies designed to collect baseline information concerning the lake’s water quality, its native and non-native plant communities, and its watershed were be used with historic data concerning those components and that of the lake’s fishery to reach conclusions regarding the health and function of the lake as an ecosystem. That information, along with information obtained through the efforts for the stakeholder participation component was combined to devise a long-term and realistic management plan for Lake Metonga.
