2014 Blue-green Algae Monitor Training
Blue-green algae monitors provide weekly reports on lake conditions. Photo by Alison Freeman.
Help assess Lake Champlain water conditions around the lake. Complete our blue-green algae monitor form if you're interested in monitoring during the 2014 season which runs from June 15 through Labor Day. Both new and returning monitors need to receive annual training. Participants must have weekly access to the same shoreline location (either public or private) and be able to file online reports. The program provides critical data on where and when blooms are happening and is relied on by health, environmental and recreation agencies.
The following monitor training sessions are free and open to the public but please pre-register so we will have enough materials on hand. Stay tuned for additional dates and locations of other upcoming training sessions. Contact us atlcc@lakechamplaincommittee.org or (802) 658-1414 if you have any questions.
