History & Status of the Fishery
Minnesota DNR Fisheries IBI program staff conducted an assessment of lakeshore habitat on Buffalo Lake on May 30 2023, following the Score the Shore survey protocols. The assessment consisted of 26 survey sites evenly spaced 100 meters around the lake. Assessments were made in three habitat zones: Shoreline Zone (the shore-water interface to the top of the natural bank), Shoreland Zone (land-ward from shoreline to development structure or 100 feet), and Aquatic Zone (lake-ward 50 feet of shoreline). The average lakewide habitat score was 91.5 (+/- 2.4) out of 100 possible. A score of 91.5 indicates the lakewide shoreline condition is High (85-92). Approximately 38 percent of the sites were developed with a mean score of 81.8 (+/- 4.6) indicating shoreline habitat quality of developed sites is Moderately High (80-85), while undeveloped sites had a mean score of 97.5 (+/- 1.2) with Excellent (92+) habitat quality.
