Abstract
AbstractWhile there are many local and regional sampling efforts in lakes across the U.S., it is often difficult to compile this information into a cohesive framework to make national‐ or continental‐scale conclusions. To address this gap, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency partners with States and Tribes to implement the National Lakes Assessment, which is a national‐scale, coordinated lake sampling program. The resulting data include colocated biological, chemical, habitat, and human use measures that are available to the scientific community. We provide a brief overview of the program, describe the data, and discuss some of the ways the results have been used. The availability of a consistent data set of this magnitude is an impressive and unique resource for the limnological community.
