Lake Michigan
Lakewide Management
Plan 2008
This document is intended to provide a status report on the health of the Lake Michigan ecosystem and a summary of the activities related to the Lake Michigan LaMP that have occurred during the last 2 years. Each chapter provides reports on current status, challenges, indicators, and next steps for a specific sub-goal area.
In addition to providing a status report, this report identifies new information and tools for addressing environmental problems identified within the report. These tools can be used by government and/or watershed groups to build a healthier Lake Michigan environment.
The LaMP is based upon the vision, goal and subgoals developed by a collaborative stakeholder process. The vision and goal were adopted by the Management Committee August 18, 1998.
