Hooray Monitors!

Sincere thanks to our wonderful team of 2022 cyanobacteria monitors and partner organizations. Monitors faithfully checked Lake Champlain and inland lake locations in wind, rain, sleet, and sun during a 20-week long monitoring season and filed over 2,500 reports on water conditions.

Please join us for the 2023 season if you have some free time every week during the summer and fall and want to give back to a waterbody you love. You’ll receive training in the spring, a cool t-shirt and hat, and support throughout the monitoring season. By volunteering you’ll gather important data to aid research, keep community members apprised of water conditions, and help strengthen and expand the monitoring program. We are looking for monitors for both Lake Champlain and inland lakes. If you’re interested, please sign up here.

Deep thanks for standout efforts to 2022 monitors and partners:
