"Limnological studies of Crater Lake were initiated by the National Park Service in 1982 in response to an apparent decline in lake clarity and changes in the characteristics of the algal community. In fall of 1982, Congress passed Public Law 97-250 which mandated the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a 10-year study of the lake. The broad goals of the study included: (1) development of a limnological data base to be used for comparison of future conditions; (2) development of a better understanding among physical, chemical and biological components of the lake system; and (3) development of a long-term monitoring program. An important aspect of the program was to determine if the lake had experienced recent changes, and if changes were present and human related, identify the cause(s) and recommend ways to mitigating the change(s)."
