DNR Seeks Comments on Lake Management Plans in Duluth Area (2005-01-10)
Every year the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) prepares
or revises individual fisheries lake management plans for several lakes in
each management area. Lake management plans describe the past, present, and
desired future conditions of the lake. The plans identify specific
management activities planned for that lake in the next five to twenty
years. Those activities always include surveys and assessments, but may also
include stocking, habitat or access improvements, or changes to regulations.

and February 25:
