An Example From History Copyright Carbon Diet Easter Island

The Story of Easter Island

Island has hundreds of similar moai statues

Some moai as tall as 10 meters (32 feet) and weighing 83 tonnes

Early explorers were puzzled how this was possible when the island had no trees

Why a Lake Sustainability Plan?

To educate and provide stewardship for what we value

To ensure our future generations can continue to enjoy what we have in this special place

Other lakes have done this due to significant issues on the lake, we want to be proactive before there’s a large issue

A “state of the lake” assessment will give us a way to measure change in the future

Purpose of a lake planning process

Promote discussion and action with all community members

Identify and protect specific lake values

Identify issues and impacts

Set a future vision for the lake
