Superior Streams is a collaborative effort undertaken by concerned individuals, government departments, university researchers and non-governmental organizations to monitor, maintain, and restore streams along the North shore of Lake Superior. The goal is to better understand ecosystem health and conditions along the North Shore of Lake Superior and to inform potential restoration activities in order to preserve and reclaim wildlife and fish habitat impacted by human activity.
Field work for the initial stage of the Superior Streams project was performed during the summer and early fall, 2015. The results were used to develop a more robust assessment protocol to apply to an additional 113 sites along 49 streams during the summer of 2016.
