	Related Information As part of the Lake St. Clair Coastal Habitat Conservation and Restoration project, project partners developed a number of Abstracts or detailed documents describing particular plants, animals or natural communities that occur within the project area. Michigan Natural Features Inventory took the lead in this endeavor, producing 30 abstracts specifically for the project in addition to those already on their website. The Walpole Island Heritage Center also produced ten abstracts that relate specifically to plants or animals found on Walpole Island, praticularly those that are culturally important to the people who live there.
