Submerged aquatic plant communities are assessed using the LakeSPI methodology. Metrics include measures of diversity from the presence of key plant communities, the depth of vegetation growth, and the extent that invasive weeds are represented. See the LakeSPI methods page for more information, and the technical report for additional results.
Usage: Drag and scroll on the map to move and zoom in, hover over map circles to see specific values and use the top right toggles on the map to switch between different condition index ratings. Click on table headers to sort the data by that column – holding the shift key allows sorting over multiple columns.
Values in the table and map hover labels refer to index scores (% of best possible for LakeSPI and Native Condition, and % of worst possible for Invasive Impact). NOF state letters (A-D) are included in brackets where applicable.
