Summary

This dataset describes the identification of phytoplankton to the lowest taxonomic level (typically species), as well as abundance (density) and biovolume from grab samples collected from Lake Michigan at Jackson Park at Hyde Park, Illinois and Lake Michigan at Jeorse Park at Gary, Indiana.

Purpose

U.S. Geological Survey, through support provided by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative investigated foreshore and adjacent backshore conditions as part of overall activities to characterize changes in bacterial conditions, including cyanobacteria, in surface water at these beaches in response to implementation of best management practices.
