 Holistic, systems level approach to ecosystem management  Unify ideas and language among Great Lakes manager and scientists  Tool that assists Great Lakes programs assess the state of the ecosystem, science needs, and management strategies Linking Science Across Habitats

Putting the Puzzle Together

Lake Ecosystem is a system of multidiscipline processes that operate within and across different geographic areas

Identifying an Issue and Key Processes Primary ecosystem disciplines Open lake Coastal/ nearshore Watershed Societal Key processes Biological Key processes Geomorphic Key processes Hydrologic Key processes

Identify Issue or Topic Can We Swim in the Water? Waterborne Illnesses  Most waterborne illnesses are due to microorganism  Use fecal indicators to indicate health risk Algae/Cladophora  Nuisance issue, aesthetics  Can harbor pathogens  Can produce toxins

Hydrologic Processes

Anthropogenic Hydrologic Processes

Geomorphic Process

Biologic Processes

Key Process Science Knowledge Data Collection Spatial Significance Temporal Significance GAPS

Summary 1.Recognition of an Issue 2.Identify Key Biologic, Hydrologic, Geomorphic, and Societal Processes associated with the Open-lake, Nearshore, Watershed 3.GAP analysis 4.Design Monitoring to fill those gaps

Future Direction  Determine key Nearshore Issues that need to be addressed.  How to frame the tables into something usable?  How to organize a group of the right people to identify key processes and GAP analysis?
