How long will the LSMP be active and how will modifications to the plan be accommodated?
A. We anticipate that the LSMP will be active for 10 years. The plan is written to be flexible. There are many criteria in the plan that if reached will illicit a response. The LSMP may also need modification if there are major changes in the fish community, a shift in societal values placed on the Lake Superior fisheries resource, or a need to protect the resource from some unforeseen threat. Changes that may be necessary will occur with input from user groups and the public.
