Underwater Archaeological Management Plan
In 2004, the Indiana Lake Michigan Coastal Program (LMCP) conducted a program self review. The review applied Federal guidance from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Based upon an open public process centered in Northwest Indiana, priority program and policy areas were identified for Indiana's coastal zone. The development of an underwater archaeological management plan for Lake Michigan was given a high priority.
The LMCP has begun to develop the plan. Preliminary meetings have been held with the DNR's Division of Law Enforcement and its Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology, as well as with the Commission's Division of Hearings. An information item is being presented to the Advisory Council on April 8 and to the Commission on May 19. The information item shares the highlights of background work needing attention and demonstrates technology that could be applied. For the latest on this project, including opportunities for public participation please see Underwater Archaeology Management Plan.
