Monitoring the health of Lake Coeur d’Alene is a collaborative effort involving multiple organizations, each contributing important pieces to the bigger picture of the lake’s condition. Four key groups — the United States Geologic Survey, the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, and volunteers with the Bay Watchers program coordinated by the Idaho Water Resources Research Institute all play important roles in collecting data that helps track changes in water quality over time.
