Barnes EDRR Project
Yes, I had the pleasure of working with Town of Barnes AIS Committee to support this project! Please see attached project notes and data.\r\n\r\nI conducted EDRR surveys for CLP in 24 and 25. Town of Barnes AIS Committee determined that the surveys for Early Detection purpose would be most beneficial immediately below the outflow of Lower Eau Claire Lake where it empties into the Eau Claire river and anecdotal reports had indicated possible presence of CLP. The surveys did document and confirm the presence of CLP there, and made other observations as well. My notes from the project indicate that "Data including latitude\/longitude was uploaded to the WI DNR SWIMS database 5\/22\/24", but I am not sure exactly where in the SWIMS database that is located. I have attached a copy of my notes and results from the project here for your reference, and I will also re-upload this data to the SWIMS database and follow up to share it's location in the SWIMS database.\r\n\r\nHope this helps, and thank you again to ToB for the collaboration and your hard work on the CLP in the Eau Claire Chain of Lakes.
