[mclellan@uwm.edu]

That's a great photo!  The diver is Harvey Bootsma,from The Great Lakes WATER
Institute, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, who was working with Brenda on
that side of the lake. Harvey has several funded projects to study the drivers
behind the Cladophora growth, including one project that mapped the Cladophora
beds along the Southeastern Wisconsin shoreline with aerial photography (in
collaboration with John Janssen, funded by Wisconsin Coastal Management
Program), some of these pictures and other great info can be found on their web
site:
