Granted: Spy Cams on Gray’s Bay

I have just read an article in a local paper about an Electronic Monitoring in Gray’s Bay. The surprising thing about this article is that it never tells you anything about what this monitoring system monitors. It mentions that the system is funded with a “grant”, but it does not say who the grant is from. - Important information for the reader.

I am always surprised at what is omitted in news articles. This is often much more important than what is included. However in this case I will blame the editor. Who, what, where, why and how - basics.

The article states that the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District insisted upon “indemnificationfrom legal action” upon installation of the system. Motivated, no doubt, by the legal problems incurred by the cameras on Minneapolis City semifors. At least the LMCD is thinking ahead. - Still the article does not tell us what the system of cameras will monitor, or for what purpose.

I will venture a guess, since I am given little information from this FRONT PAGE ARTICLE. Lake Minnetonka Conservation District wants to monitor the boat traffic on Grays Bay - probably for milfoil on boats entering and exiting the bay. I can only guess.

RETRACTION/UPDATE:
The attached commentor is correct. In the sixth paragraph of the article on the purpose of the monitoring system for Gray's Bay, exotic species such as Zebra Mussles are noted. My apologies.
Querry: Who is the grant from?
