Lake Champlain Water Quality Panel with ADK Explorer - 11/6/2025

Join ADK Explorer's water reporter Zach Matson as he moderates a panel of water quality experts and environmental leaders tackling Lake Champlain's persistent water quality challenges. For over three decades, communities and advocates across Lake Champlain’s sprawling watershed have sought to control phosphorus, a key nutrient powering harmful algal blooms in the lake and fueling more public beach closures as summers get hotter.

Hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested in wastewater plant upgrades, agricultural best practices and stormwater and erosion control projects, but phosphorus levels remain stubbornly persistent.
