PLMD has contracted Lake and Pond Solutions to preform our P/I survey. The P/I survey is part of the process required by the WI DNR to renew our mechanical seaweed harvesting permit. Approximately 600 points will be sampled between Lower and Upper Phantom Lakes. Plant Date will be collected with a double-headed rake on a 15′ pole or a double headed rake on a rope. Date collection will include species present, species density, overall rake density and any visuals of species located within a 6 foot radius of the boat. For emergent species, a visual will be recorded for each point closest to shore providing a more comprehensive look at species left off past surveys.
This tentative for Tuesday (8/23/2022) and Wednesday (8/24/2022). Please give the crew extra space to work.
