Purpose

Use high resolution multi-spectral aerial mapping technology to remotely identify the major factors contributing to beach pollution & deteriorated water quality in the nearshore areas of Lake Michigan that are included within the boundaries of Bay-Lake RPC.

Objective

This 2-year, regional project is focused on using high resolution multi-spectral aerial mapping technology to remotely identify the major factors contributing to beach pollution and deteriorated water quality in the nearshore areas of Lake Michigan that are included within the boundaries of Bay-Lake RPC. This encompasses approximately 400 miles of shoreline within the counties of Marinette, Kewaunee, Manitowoc and Sheboygan. Such regional data would allow for more comprehensive cause and effect comparisons and provide invaluable tools for regional planning and remediation activities.
