Here, a variety of cultures and nationalities come together, resulting in an exotic blend that coexists in a typically Mexican environment. Lake Chapala and its surroundings

collect data that can be used to assess the current status of a lake in terms of stratification, productivity, succession, nutrient composition, transparency, and management. The field site was 85 acre, man-made lake within Miami Whitewater Forest in “Great Parks” of Hamilton County, Cincinnati, OH. Although the lake is man-made, it shares many characteristics with that of natural lakes. The data collected regarding the current status of the lake would then be compared against past, historical data to draw

Average Yellow Perch length (TL) ranged from 87 (age 1) to 223mm (age 5), whereas, Pumpkinseed length ranged from 47mm (age 1) to 194mm (age 6) which is similar to other findings in many lakes in North America (Scott & Crossman 1998; Pierce, Rasmussen, & Leggett 1990). Pumpkinseed growth was constant for the first 4-5 years, then began to slow, whereas, growth in Yellow perch was constant for the first 2-3 years and began to slow which is similar to other studies (Copp, et al. 2004; Lauer & Doll

thumb up into the wind to signal I’m ready to go. Suddenly there is a tug on the rope, and I’m being dragged through the water. Pressing the skis against the cold water, I can finally stand up above the waves. The boat pulls me around the bend of the lake, and the view of all the enormous cabins is thrilling. The seniors on the campground beach will clap and stand up from their Adirondack chairs to wave or whistle. As my legs begin to feel tired, I wave one last time and let go of the handlebar. I can

The way of Non-point source pollution in the Great Lakes • Atmospheric precipitation Many contaminants settle out of the atmosphere, such as acid rain, the pollutants and nutrients will transport from distant places by air depositing into the lake as the form of rain. The first pollutants as atmospheric deposition on the Great Lakes were phosphorus. It is found that about 20 percent phosphorus entering Lake Michigan comes from the atmosphere by determination of rain, snow and dust. Since phosphorus

builder, Alfred Winter, cut a road through to Blackstone Lake in the 1890s to make the muskellunge more accessible. Mr. Winter was the local postmaster till the railway was put in by Lake Joseph to Parry Sound. Later he renamed it Gordon House after his admiration of the famous General Gordon who was killed in 1885 in Khartoum. The following are excerpts from many write-ups on fishing, especially for muskie, on Blackstone Lake, before the lake was too civilized and fished. Years are boldfaced for convenience

Lake Winnipeg, the last remains of glacial Lake Agassiz, is the 10th largest lake in the world by surface area. It lies on the boundary between the Interior Plains and the Southwestern Canadian Shield. Up to five and a half million people rely on the health of Lake Winnipeg. The lake is an economic powerhouse that supports a $100 million a year tourism industry and a $25 million a year fishing industry (Halter, 2007). Furthermore, more than 23,000 permanent residents live in 30 communities along

water bodies (lakes), are made of rock, gravel, or sand. The oligotrophic water bodies are home to smallmouth bass, lake trout, pike, sturgeon and whitefish. Eutrophic bodies of water have higher nutrient levels, which causes poor light penetration. There is low dissolved oxygen and shallow water. This all causes higher algal growth. The bottom of the lakes are made of silt, sand or clay. Carp, bullheads or catfish can be found in the lakes. Eutrophication is a serious concern for lakes as it can

Whoosh! I can still see the moment he hit the water. The moment sometimes plays in my head like it happened in real life slow motion. I knew I would never forget it. You should know a few things about me before you read about the best day of my life. Before today I thought that if I didn’t start stressing about my future, I would never end up getting anywhere. This is the day everything changed. AAAHHHH!! That morning started like any other, my small obnoxious mutt of a dog licking my
