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

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

Figure 3 640Bev 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.
