geospatial data in Lake Superior, offshore the Wisconsin Bayfield Peninsula and the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. Associated data include remotely sensed lakebed imagery (e.g., multibeam bathymetry, backscatter) and underwater videos. The dataset includes original data collections and modeled data. Original data collection spans the years 2020 to 2021, and lakebed models and derived maps were developed in 2022. These data were created to support management decisions intended to address multiple littoral issues including increases in coastal erosion and sedimentation, degradation of native fish habitat, coastal development, water quality changes, harmful algal blooms, and species invasions. The intended users of these maps are lake managers and scientists working on restoring the Great Lakes.
