(Webinar) Let’s Talk Lake Huron: Algae, Bacteria and Nutrients in Lake Huron

Posted: September 4, 2024

Are you interested in the factors that drive algae growth in Lake Huron and the potential impacts on the ecosystem? If so, mark your calendars for Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at 11 am CT (12 pm ET).  We will be hosting a one-hour public webinar, “Algae, Bacteria and Nutrients in Lake Huron,” as part of our Let’s Talk Lake Huron! webinar series. 

Join us as we explore the relationships between nutrients and algae and their impact on the lake’s ecosystem. After that, join us for a presentation on the role of bacterial pollutants in the lake, possible sources and strategies for mitigation. We will also hear about the Healthy Lake Huron Initiative in Ontario, Canada, which focuses on addressing nuisance algae concerns and promoting safe and clean beaches. Our experts will then answer your questions during an interactive question and answer session.   

Guest speakers include Craig Stow (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), Dr. Tami Sivvy (Saginaw Valley State University) and Jessica Van Zwol (St. Clair Region Conservation Authority). 

This webinar is free, open to the public and suitable for anyone who is passionate about the Great Lakes! 

Registration is now closed.
