Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Sentinel Lakes Monitoring Program Chemistry, 2008-2011

SLICE (Sustaining Lakes in a Changing Environment) is a cooperative long-term, statewide lake monitoring program led by DNR Fisheries with the support of many other partners. The focus of this interdisciplinary effort is to improve understanding of how major drivers of change such as development, agriculture, climate change, and invasive species can affect lake habitats and fish populations, and to develop a long-term strategy to collect the necessary information to detect undesirable changes in Minnesota lakes.
