Mary Catterlin graduated from Indiana University in 2011 with a BA in Fine Art. When Mary started hand carving a cottonwood tree into a dugout canoe, Amy knew they were in for an adventure. Spurred by their love of Lake Michigan and a desire for a challenge, they dreamed big. Both Amy and Mary were relatively (okay, completely) new to long distance expeditions when they set off on their 1200 mile journey around Lake Michigan aboard their handmade dugout sailing canoe in the summer of 2012. Amy and Mary are both relatively (okay, completely) new to the realm of book & film, but they thoroughly enjoyed the process of telling a story they love. Their 93 day adventure has recently taken the form of a published illustrated journal and a full length documentary detailing the ins and outs of their dream coming to life. They hope to inspire others to follow their dreams, no matter how ridiculous. Lake Michigan in a Dugout: The Documentary: This is a film following the story of two women chasing their ridiculous dream: to journey around Lake Michigan aboard their handmade dugout sailing canoe, an adventure that would ultimately take them over 1200 miles in 93 days. Told in part through the friendly banter between the two and the friends they made along the way, the documentary explores the search for everyday adventure and the power of our imaginations to push dreams into reality. SPECIAL TRIBUTE JUDY BECK The Lake Michigan Forum, Lake Michigan Watershed Academy, Lake Michigan Monitoring Coordination Council, affiliated Lake Michigan basin agencies and partner organizations, the Great Lakes Beach Association, and others recognize Judy Beck for nearly two decades of dedicated and effective leadership in coordinating Lake Michigan management and restoration. Judy Beck was the Lake Michigan Manager in the Great Lakes National Program Office, USEPA from 1995-2014. She chaired the multi-agency Lake Michigan Lakewide Action and Management Plan (LAMP) process called for in the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. She skillfully guided the work of the Lake Michigan Forum and was instrumental in the formation of the Lake Michigan Monitoring Coordination Council and the Lake Michigan Watershed Academy. She provided inspiration for the first and each succeeding State of Lake Michigan Conference and organized the first major Great Lakes beach conference which led to formation of the Beach Association. Judy also volunteers her time to the League of Women Voters and their Lake Michigan organization, serving on their Board before and after her position at USEPA. Judy also served as an elected Commissioner of the Glenview Park District for 32 years and as a president of the Illinois Association of Park Districts. She now has a park named in her honor. We heartily thank Judy for all she has done to bring diverse groups together and facilitate multi-agency and stakeholder engagement in restoring and sustaining the health of Lake Michigan. 2 9th Biennial State of Lake Michigan/15th Annual Great Lakes Beach Association Joint Conference SESSION SPEAKERS ABOOD, SINAN, Spatial Analyst-Research Fellow, USDA Forest Service Sinan A. Abood holds a PhD in Environmental Engineering-GIS & Remote Sensing Applications, 2011 at the School of Forest Resources & Environmental Science-Michigan Technological University. His first postdoctoral assignment was with the Institute of Terrestrial Ecosystems at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ETH Zurich, Switzerland (2011-2013) as a Research Fellow working on estimating the role of land extracting industries (oil palm plantation, acacia/pulp, and logging) on natural habitats loss and measuring the impacts of land cover change on tropical biodiversity in Southeast Asia. Currently, Mr. Abood is performing his second postdoctoral assignment as a Spatial Analyst-Research Fellow with the Watershed, Fish, Wildlife, Air, and Rare Plants (WFWARP) program, Washington Office USDA Forest Service. His research focuses on two main objectives: developing riparian areas inventory/monitoring system for National Forest and Rangelands utilizing the Riparian mapping tool (RBDM), and incorporating the use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) applications in forest monitoring, wildlife applications, illegal logging, surveying and ecosystem monitoring and managements. Riparian Inventory: A GIS Approach Riparian areas are complex, dynamic and diverse zones along aquatic ecosystems. The location of riparian areas between upland and aquatic systems is becoming increasingly important for watershed management and serving as ecological reserves and biological corridors. Delineating riparian areas is a challenge for resource managers and decision-makers due to variation in the definition of a riparian area. There are widely varying interpretations across federal and state agencies and between academic disciplines. Previous approaches to riparian area delineation have utilized fixed width buffers, but this methodology has proven to be inadequate. Here we present a cost effective robust model to consistently map the geographic extent and composition of riparian areas utilizing the geospatial capabilities of ArcGIS 10.2 and open source data. This approach recognizes the dynamic and transitional natures of riparian areas by accounting for hydrologic, geomorphic and vegetation data as inputs into the delineation process, and the results would suggest incorporating functional variable width riparian mapping within watershed management planning to improve protection and restoration of valuable riparian functionality and biodiversity. ADAMS, MARY STEWART, Program Director, Headlands International Dark Sky Park Mary Stewart Adams led the initiative that resulted in Emmet County's Headlands property achieving designation as one of the world's few internationally-protected dark sky parks in 2011. She has received numerous awards for her work, and speaks to audiences locally, nationally,
