List of crustaceans of the Indiana Dunes

Indiana Dunes National Park is a National Park Service unit on the shore of Lake Michigan in Indiana, United States. A BioBlitz took place there on May 15 and 16, 2009.[1] A first attempt was made to create a list of crustaceans present in the Lakeshore area. Further research is required to document all that may be present.[2]
