Data on mixing processes in the nearshore zone of Lake Michigan are presented. Emphasis was placed on an area near Holland, Michigan where typical summer mixing patterns of the Kalamazoo River plume between the nearshore zone and mid-lake water mass were studied. Results showed that the nutrient load of the river's tributaries studied had a marked effect on the nearshore zone and the standing crop and species composition of phytoplankton. Data are included on the content of phosphates, silica, nitrates, chlorides, and chlorophyll, pH, and temperature of water samples collected from various locations during different seasons.
