A Look at Nutrients in the Lake Trout Hideouts of Lake of the Woods

Bev Clark summarizes Clare Nelligan’s PhD research that studied the sedimentary record of Whitefish Bay, Cul de Sac Bay and Echo Bay to determine whether:
1) water quality has changed in Lake of the Woods embayments that support Lake Trout?
2) changes observed in the sedimentary record suggestive of a particular environmental stressor?
3) trends are similar between embayments?
Clare has completed her PhD and has moved on to a career in environmental consulting. LOWWSF is pleased to have supported her work as recipient of the Deborah Battigelli Memorial fund.
