A Biodiversity Conservation Assessment for Lake Superior Volume 2: Regional Unit Summaries
Lake Superior Working Group. 2013. A Biodiversity Conservation Assessment for Lake Superior Volume 2: Regional Unit Summaries
Volume Two of the Lake Superior Biodiversity Conservation Assessment provides more detailed information and mapping on 20 regional units (Figure 1). These units are based on quaternary watershed boundaries that were grouped based on coastal environments identified from Lake Superior. In addition to the watershed and coast, each regional unit includes associated inshore and nearshore waters. In some regions, offshore waters were also incorporated to include islands. One unit that encompasses all of the Lake Superior offshore waters was also included. Maintaining the open waters as a single unit was recommended by the Aquatic Community Committee/Lake Superior Technical Committee.
