Personnel from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources collect data in Navigation Pool 8, one of 6 study reaches included in the program. Water quality and fish data have been collected under a stratified random framework since 1993 and vegetation data since 1998. This report summarizes the 2015 dataset in the context of how it relates to the entire LTRM sampling frame.
