The Midwest Glacial Lakes Partnership (MGLP) is preparing to release a completely overhauled second version of its Lake Conservation Planner, with a host of new datasets for assessing lakes and planning for their management. New datasets on fisheries surveys, non-native species, water temperatures, water quality, shoreland and watershed land use, fish passage, and human populations provide a wealth of information. Tune in to learn more about how to use this exciting tool to help inform conservation on lakes near you.
