Abstract

Lake Superior Beach Monitoring Program staff collaborated with the Natural Resources Research Institute (NRRI-UMD) staff to develop and implement interactive online tools for viewing lake and estuary indicator bacteria data with a new perspective. This data visualization tool was installed on the www.lakesuperiorstreams.org (originally www.duluthstreams.org) website with appropriate links from the Lake Superior Beach Monitoring website (www.mnbeaches.org also developed in collaboration with NRRI) to allow users to visualize changes in bacteria counts over time compared to temperature, precipitation, wave height and wind direction. The tool enhances the use of ambient surface water (MPCA program priority #4) data by professionals at resource agencies, consulting firms, NGOs and universities; by teachers and students, and by the general public. It assists the Lake Superior Beach Monitoring Program in achieving its goal of providing data and education to the water recreating public.
