"This paper summarizes the development and program status and planning of a 10-year limnological study of Crater Lake in Crater Lake National Park, Oregon. The program was mandated by Congress in the fall of 1982 after the lake data base (1896-1981) was fond to be inadequate to determine whether the lake was decreasing in clarity as had been suggested from independent studies between 1978 and 1981. Goals of the study include establishing a data base for future comparisons, evaluating relationships among physical, chemical, and biological features, and establishing a long-term monitoring program. We want to know whether the lake is changing. If changes are detected, we will develop studies to identify the causes and recommend mitigation for anthropogenic changes."
