Description

R.P. Richards was a contributing author.

Notes

Without the cooperation of numerous agencies and individuals during the preparation of this report, the task would have been considerably more difficult. In particular, I would like to thank Canada Centre for Inland Waters scientists F. Rosa and M. Charlton for providing the 1978 and 1979 open lake data sets and for reviewing the final draft report. I would also like to thank Y. Hamdy and his staff at the Ohio Ministry of the Environment for supplying the 1978 and 1979 nearshore data plus numerous supplementary documents. I wish to thank the reviewers for their suggestions, in particular, J. Leach (OMNR), C. Mortimer, C. Edwards and J. Gannon (IJC), and H. Dobson (CCIW). In addition, Laura Fay, John Mizera, Gary Arico, and the CLEAR clerical staff provided the support and expertise necessary to complete this project. I wish to acknowledge the EPA-Great Lakes National Program Office for their support of Technical Assessment Team and the 1978 and 1979 data sets. Finally, a special recognition should be given to Noel Burns (CCIW) for his contribution to the understanding of the numerous complexities associated with the limnology of Lake Erie.
