A Watershed Management Plan (WMP) is developed to guide the restoration and protection of a waterbody.  Many lakes, rivers and streams in the St. Joseph River Watershed (SJRW) have their own management plan. These plans supplement the overall WMP created for the entire SJRW. Contact us if you have a WMP that should be listed here.
