Multispectral remote sensing data were collected along the U.S. shoreline of Lake Ontario, under the sponsorship of the Environmental Protection Agency, as part of the International Field Year on the Great Lakes (IFYGL) program in Lake Ontario. Data were processed to show the distribution of Cladophora in the nearshore zone and to estimated the standing crop. The results show an extensive growth and development of Cladophora in the study area. Approximately 66% of the nearshore zone in the western portion of the lake and 79% in the eastern portion is covered by Cladophora. -- Abstract.
