About

During the planning sessions for the 2022 North American Lake Management Society (NALMS) conference, we were tasked with finding ways to connect with more water resources professionals in Minnesota. Although there are many water resources groups in Minnesota, we believe that greater connection and collaboration between these groups could lead to more effective lake management. NALMS is a perfect supplement to these existing groups in that it focuses on a much broader range of topics (limnology, stormwater, fisheries, water quality, invasive species,...) and incorporates more attention to the complexities and interdisciplinary nature of real-world lake management. 

Our Goals are to:
(1) Foster more interdisciplinary approaches to the problems that affect Minnesota lakes

(2) Bring a regional and holistic focus: Offer a forum for discussing Minnesota lake problems, management strategies, and project results with a focus on projects that cut across disciplines to achieve more holistic lake management

(3) Make new connections between water professionals: Enable greater collaboration and connection between different water resources groups to foster more effective lake management projects
