Assessment Methods – Point Intercept • Conducted during the peak of growth (typically late May/Early June) • Rake throws at uniformly space points spaced 80-m apart. • % Frequency is correlated with % areal cover

Genesis: Serendipity • Noticed declines in CLP cover across most sentinel lakes since monitoring began in 2008. • Due to simultaneous declines across network, knew immediately that something environmental must be going on.
