For Lake Erie, ice cover and extreme weather conditions in winter and spring prevent regular monitoring and safe sampling.
The Understanding Algal Blooms: State of the Science Hybrid Conference will highlight current scientific knowledge related to algal blooms.
The US Water Alliance's One Water Summit gathers the most diverse group of water stakeholders in the country for a completely unique and urgent conversation about the future of water through engaging plenaries and workshops, dynamic institutes and site-visits, and plenty of networking time between individuals, organizations, and delegations.
