EPA National Lakes Survey, Summer 2007 - Photo "Lewis-NAIP"

This aerial photo of Lewis Lake in Pierce County is marked with 10 habitat sampling stations. Stations were spaced evenly from a randomly chosen starting point. Habitat data were collected at each station from the littoral (shallow near-shore water) and riparian (shoreline) zones. Samplers also observed invasive plants and collected benthic macroinvertebrates (bugs).
