2026 Weekly Cyanobacteria Emails to the Community

The first week of the 2026 cyanobacteria monitoring season (6/14 - 6/20/2026) kicked off with rainy weather and a range of generally safe conditions around Lake Champlain - though some phenomena including turbid waters, pollen-filled shorelines, and rocky habitats coated with filamentous green algae provided a good early test in identifying circumstances that are not cyanobacteria. 

Thank you to our volunteer monitors for a great first week of tracking water quality across the basin!
