Lakes are sentinels of change that reflect their regional climate and 
landscape.  We have now established a long-term, multi-sensor buoy-based 
observatory in Muskegon Lake (Michigan) to track physical, chemical and 
biological changes taking place in this Area of Concern (AOC) undergoing 
restoration in real-time.  Observatory-derived lake and meteorological 
time-series data will be used to assess indicators of ecosystem change 
such as food web structure, water quality and harmful algal 
blooms.  Information is being shared through a live data display, web 
and regional observing networks for monitoring, research, and 
educational outreach and support for the restoration of this coastal 
environment.

Our observatory for tracking ecosystem changes in Muskegon Lake is now 
gathering vital time-series data on parameters including the lake’s 
water quality, currents, production, and respiration. The observatory 
seeks to link regional conditions to seasonal aquatic 
productivity.  With the aid of the new Lake Observatory, I will discuss 
the implications of some observed trends in plankton metabolism to our 
understanding of carbon cycling and food webs in this Great Lakes 
tributary lake.

*Title:* 	Earth’s Eye: Observatory for Ecosystem Changes in Muskegon Lake
