Technical Reports

The LCBP published its first technical report, A Research and Monitoring Agenda for Lake Champlain, in 1992, and has documented the results of that agenda for more than two decades with subsequent reports. Findings from scores of grants and research projects that provide the critical scientific data necessary to implement the Lake Champlain Management Plan Opportunities for Action are included in these publications.
