Citizen Science Program
The Northwest Montana Lakes Network (NMLN) is a partnership between Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, Whitefish Lake Institute, and over 50 citizen scientists. Our mission is to recruit and train volunteers to monitor water quality, identify Aquatic Invasive Species and promote watershed stewardship in northwest Montana. NMLN currently collects long term trend information on forty-one lakes in Flathead, Lake, Lincoln and Missoula counties.
