Lakes, reservoirs, and ponds are central and integral features of the North Central U.S. These water bodies provide aesthetic, cultural, and ecosystem services to surrounding wildlife and human communities. External impacts – such as climate change – can have significant impacts to these important parts of the region’s landscape. Understanding the responses of lakes to these drivers is critical for species conservation and management decisions. Water temperature data are foundational to providing this understanding and are currently the most widely measured of all aquatic parameters with over 400 unique groups monitoring water temperature in U.S. lakes and rivers. However, lake temperature data are lacking at...

This shapefile is the official boundary of the Midwest Glacial Lakes Partnership. The boundary was originally developed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and was updated in 2013 to reflect revisions from the Midwest Glacial Lakes Partnership, a recognized Fish Habitat Partnership (FHP) of the National Fish Habitat Partnership.

Fisheries managers in Midwestern lakes and reservoirs are tasked with balancing multiple management objectives to help maintain healthy fish populations across a landscape of diverse lakes. As part of this, managers monitor fish growth and survival. Growth rates in particular are indicators of population health, and directly influence the effectiveness of regulations designed to protect spawning fish or to promote trophy fishing opportunities. Growth, combined with reproduction and survival, also determines the amount of fish biomass available for harvest, known as population production. Changing water temperatures can influence growth and production of managed fish species in multiple complex ways, increasing the...

The Midwest Glacial Lakes Partnership’s Conservation Planner provides data to inform communication, management, and research to benefit fish habitat and lake ecosystems. The Conservation Planner has two panels; the upper Map Panel is an interactive map capable of displaying information for a large number of lakes, while the lower Data Panel shows specific information about a single lake that the user selects including climate vulnerability, watershed disturbance, shoreland disturbance, predicted suitability, watershed management guidelines, shoreland management guidelines, watershed details, and shoreland details.
