Categorical Spatial Relations
Subsystem: Lacustrine Littoral – The Littoral Subsystem includes shallow habitats in the Lacustrine System. The shoreward boundary of this subsystem extends to the landward limit of non-persistent emergents. The lakeward boundary includes all waters to a depth of 2 meters below Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW), or to the maximum extent of non-persistent emergents, whichever depth is greater.
Subsystem: Lacustrine Limnetic – The Limnetic Subsystem includes all deepwater habitats within the Lacustrine System. “Deepwater habitats” are those that occur at depths greater than 2 meters below MLLW—unless there are non-persistent emergents in those areas. In which case, “deepwater habits” are those beyond the limit of occurrence of non-persistent emergents.
