This is an organized process for deciding on various
management steps for a lake that has become excessively eutrophic and developed

nutrient enrichment, and the secondary, restoration of a balamced and productive
fish community. A basic assumption is that enhancement of fishing
will require well-developed littoral vegetation as nursery habitat for
juvenile fishes.
