Book Description
This document is the LMC's recommendation on goals and objectives for Lake Michigan's fish community. The intent of this document is to provide a framework for future decision making. Although seemingly straightforward, consensus management of complex systems like Lake Michigan is challenging. Scientific understanding of the ecology of the lake will always be incomplete. Managers, their clients (participants in the fishery), and others concerned about the lake will contimually face uncertainty about the best management policies. Establishment of fish-community objectives will help define a unified direction and purpose for the multitude of management activities occurring around the lake. Also, this document will focus attention on important issues and help communicate priorities to fishery and environmental managers, researchers, and public-policy makers.
