Great Lakes Islands: Biodiversity Elements And
GREAT LAKES ISLANDS: BIODIVERSITY ELEMENTS AND THREATS A FINAL REPORT TO THE GREAT LAKES NATIONAL PROGRAM OFFICE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY AUGUST 6, 2007 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Funding for this project has been provided by the Great Lakes Program Office (GLNPO) of the Environmental Protection Agency (Grant No. Gl-96521901: Framework for the Binational Conservation of Great Lakes Islands). We especially appreciated the support of our project officer, K. Rodriquez, and G. Gulezian, director of the GLNPO. Project team members were F. Cuthbert (University of Minnesota), D. Ewert (The Nature Conservancy), R. Greenwood (U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service), D. Kraus (The Nature Conservancy of Canada), M. Seymour (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service), K. Vigmostad (Principal Investigator, formerly of Northeast-Midwest Institute), and L. Wires (University of Minnesota). Team members for the Ontario portion of the project included W. Bakowsky (NHIC), B. Crins (Ontario Parks), J. Mackenzie (NHIC) and M. McMurtry (NHIC). GIS and technical support for this project has been provided by T. Krahn (Provincial Geomatics Service Centre, OMNR), J. Slatts (The Nature Conservancy), and G. White (The Nature Conservancy of Canada). Many others have provided scientific and policy support for this project. We particularly want to recognize M. DePhillips (The Nature Conservancy), G. Jackson (Parks Canada), B. Manny (Great Lakes Science Center), and C. Vasarhelyi (policy consultant). Cover photograph: A Bay on Gibraltar Island (Lake Erie) ©2005 Karen E. Vigmostad 2 Contents -

Misery Bay Chapter 2
Existing Conditions The first step in developing a plan to protect the coastal resources of Misery Bay is to establish an accurate representation of existing cultural and environmental features within the study area. This chapter will present a series of maps and associated text to describe key features such as owner type, land uses, vegetation cover types, soils and geology. NEMCOG used information and digital data sets from the Center for Geographic Information, State of Michigan, Michigan Resource Information System, Alpena Township, Alpena County, Natural Resource Conservation Service, and U.S. Geological Survey. Information from the Alpena County Master Plan and Alpena Township Master Plan was used to develop a profile of existing conditions. Field surveys were conducted during 2003. Community Demographics Trends in population and housing characteristics can provide an understanding of growth pressures in a community. Population trends from 1900 and 2000 are summarized in Table 2.1. Population levels have risen and fallen twice in the last 100 years, first in the early part of the century and again in the 1980’s. The 1980 US Census recorded the largest population for Alpena Township and Alpena County at 10,152 and 32,315 respectively. During the 80’s decade, population fell by over five percent and has not climbed back to the 1980 US Census level. Table 2.1 Population Trends Alpena Township and Alpena County, 1900-2000 Alpena Township Alpena County Year Population % Change Population % Change 1900 1,173 --- 18,254 --- 1910 928 -20.9% 19,965 +9.4% 1920 701 -24.5% 17,869 -10.5% 1930 813 +16.0% 18,574 +3.9% 1940 1,675 +106.0% 20,766 +11.8% 1950 2,932 +75.0% 22,189 +6.9% 1960 6,616 +125.6% 28,556 +28.7% 1970 9,001 +36.0% 30,708 +7.5% 1980 10,152 +12.8% 32,315 +5.2% 1990 9,602 -5.4% 30,605 -5.3% 2000 9,788 +1.9% 31,314 +2.3% Source: U.S. -

Morphometric Factors in the Formation of Great Lakes Coastal Wetlands C
P1: GIM TJ1095-03 TJ-AEM.cls May 27, 2004 9:29 Morphometric factors in the formation of Great Lakes coastal wetlands C. E. Herdendorf Department of Geological Sciences, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210, USA; E-mail: [email protected] The Great Lakes basins were carved from ancient river valleys by continental ice sheets that receded from the region less than 10,000 years ago. Not only did the glaciers create the basins now holding the lakes, but they are responsible for many of the shallow depressions in the coastal margin that have since developed as coastal wetlands of various types. For the past four thousand years, coastal processes in the lakes have further modified the shore topography to form embayments, coastal lagoons, estuaries, deltas, and solution basins where thousands of hectares of wetlands have become established. This paper will explore the origin of the various morphometric forms which these wetlands have taken and their characteristic hydrologic processes. Keywords: estuaries, geomorphology, karst, lacustrine, palustrine, physiography Physiography of the Great Lakes gin of the waning ice sheet retreated northward into the newly carved lake basins, some of which were dammed The five adjoining Laurentian Great Lakes— by glacial end moraines.

However, as 1,370 km from westernmost point to easternmost point new and lower outlets were uncovered to the north, the and 1,130 km from north to south (Figure 1). With lakes drained to ever lowering levels except during peri- a total surface area of 244,160 km2, this is the largest ods of minor readvances of the ice front (Hough, 1962). -
