What Lurks in the Lake?
From Reports to Reality: Making Sense of Harmful Algal Bloom Data
Dive into the world of harmful algal blooms (HABs) with Alyssa Johnson from the Community Science Institute in What Lurks in the Lake?, a lively exploration of HABs occurring on Cayuga Lake. This engaging presentation will review the 2025 HAB season on Cayuga Lake and guide attendees in interpreting the data—learning why the number of reports doesn’t always reflect the number of blooms and what trends reveal about lake health and water quality. Discover how local volunteers track blooms, what the patterns tell us about water quality, and why understanding these trends is crucial for protecting our lake.
