Sentinel Lakes Pilot Project
24 lakes across Minnesota will be studied to see how the state’s lakes are handling global warming, development, invasive species and urban runoff. The Sentinel Lakes Pilot Project will begin in 2008, and is a joint effort of the Minnesota DNR and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
The lakes have been picked from across the four main eco-regions in the state. They are as follows:
Border lakes: Bearhead, White Iron, Elephant, Nett, Trout and Northern Light
Northern lakes and forests area: Hill, Elk Lake, Portage, Red Sand, South Twin and Ten Mile
North-central hardwood forest area: Belle, Carlos, Cedar, Pearl, Peltier and South Center
Corn belt plains area: Artichoke, Carrie, Madison, St. Olaf, Shaokotan and St. James
