We need volunteers to help monitor presence or absence of harmful algae (cyanobacteria) in Utah's lakes, ponds and reservoirs. Monitoring is in coordination with Utah Division of Water Quality and NOAA to develop a better understanding and help warn the health departments of potential health issues.
Check out http://extension.usu.edu/utahwaterwatch/monitoring/Lakes/Hab to find more information and a training schedule for January and February 2018.
