<idAbs>&lt;DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;During the growing season (June through September), a gross estimate of total areal coverage of dominant type(s) of macrophytes are made for lakes in the lake monitoring network. The lake macrophyte extent is determined by visual observations during a monitoring event and marked on an aerial photograph map.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;</idAbs>
<idPurp>The data was created in the course of doing aquatic vegetation surveys for the lakes monitoring network. Another purpose of the dataset is to show the areas sampled for data accessibility.</idPurp>
