Trego, Wi

Performed a River-Use Study on the Namekagon River, Wisconsin; part of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. This study was used by the National Park Service to gain a perspective on how the river is currently being used so that they may make correct adjustments to their current management plan. Information was gathered by tallying and differentiating aquatic vessels that passed by, landed, or launched from various river landings. User information and perception was also gathered by administering short surveys to users who exited the river at the aforementioned river landings.
