FOREWORD 



This report is an updated version of the compendium of 

 studies which was prepared and distributed in January, 1986. 

 The compendium describes the objectives, current status and 

 projected activities of fifty active or recently completed 

 aquatic resources studies within the Clark Fork River Basin. 

 Although the descriptions of each study are brief, the 

 compendium should serve as a guide to sources of information. 



Governor Schwinden established a Clark Fork River Basin 

 Project to coordinate and integrate data from all aquatic 

 studies within the basin and to encourage citizen and 

 scientific involvement in understanding the aquatic resource 

 problems of the river. This document represents one of 

 several ongoing efforts of the Clark Fork Project to achieve 

 that goal. For more information about the Project, contact 

 Howard Johnson of the Governor's Office, Capitol Station, 

 Helena, Montana 59620. Telephone (406) 444-3111.
