The final report for phase 4 of the Black Oak Lake Watershed Protection Program. This will be part of the adaptive management plan that is being sponsored by The Black Oak Lake Preservation Foundation as part of grant LPL-1394-11.

Black Oak Lake Riparian Owners Association is sponsoring phased project to study Black Oak Lake, in Vilas County. The project will focus on aquatic invasive species prevention (AIS) activities, studying shorelands and water quality in Black Oak Lake and then update the Black Oak Lake Adaptive Management Plan (LMP). This would allow Black Oak Lake to become eligible for lake protection grant money in the shoreland restoration category. Phase 4 project activities include: 1) Review and analyze littoral zone and riparian area conditions to prioritize shoreline restoration and protection areas; 2) Select candidate protection and restoration sites; 3) Develop protection/restoration plan for each demonstration area; 4) Hire CB/CW monitor and continue CB/CW program; 5) Update LMP with protection/restoration plans. Project deliverables include: 1) Littoral zone and riparian area data and results; 2) Shoreland restoration and protection plan that includes 4-7 individual demonstration site plans; 3) Entered watercraft inspection data onto SWIMS; 4) Updated LMP.
