Data and Monitoring

Lake St. Clair Monitoring Inventory
The following form is intended to provide the Lake St. Clair Monitoring Inventory project with the information needed to create a comprehensive online inventory of monitoring activities throughout the Lake St. Clair basin. The information you provide will become part of the Lake St. Clair Monitoring Inventory. For the purpose of this inventory, monitoring is defined as any ongoing activity in the Lake St. Clair basin that measures ecosystem health, including water quality, air quality, habitat, biota/wildlife, land use, sedimentation, non-point source pollution, etc. Please fill out one form for each monitoring activity your agency currently undertakes. If you have any questions please contact Anne Sturm at asturm@glc.org or call 734-971-9135.
