“培训, guidance and loaner equipment we’ve received from NJCWST have allowed us to truly become citizen scientists! We can accurately assess the health of our lake and keep our community informed. Our goal is to not only identify emerging Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) but to also work with our community to minimize the inflow of nutrients that cause HABs. We fly a blue flag from the boat when we are conducting water monitoring to raise awareness. 我们在分享我们的知识, answering questions and oftentimes alleviating concerns such as identifying algae vs aquatic plants.”
