"This report synthesizes results obtained during a five-year study (2008-2012) on Saginaw Bay, a large embayment on the southwest side of Lake Huron. The report is a summary of findings relevant for management decision making regarding issues related to the fishery and water quality of Saginaw Bay. Because the report is intended as an overview, detailed descriptions of the approaches and methods used are omitted, but can be found in papers published in the peer-reviewed literature, including a special issue in the Journal of Great Lakes Research , scheduled for publication in late 2013"--Introduction.
