Lake Superior Coastal Wetland and Stream Monitoring Project
Abstract
Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area and is one of the most
unique ecosystems in North America. Wisconsin's Lake Superior shore has many coastal wetlands and
important tributaries that play a large role in the biological productivity of the Lake. For
example, Lake Superior coastal wetlands are about twenty four times more productive than the open
water areas, and the St. Louis River is a major spawning river and nursery for the Lake's warm
water fishery. Yet, in spite of the importance of these habitats, there is little information
about their ecological condition.
