Cyanobacteria Workshop: Past, Present and is There a Future?
November 25 @ 8:45 am - 12:00 pm
Learn how CVC and Partners are Monitoring Water Quality in the Watershed
Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, have become an increasing concern for water managers in recent years. Harmful cyanobacterial algae blooms (cHABs) are on the rise in many freshwater bodies, posing risks to drinking water supplies, recreation and aquatic ecosystems. This workshop will explore the past, present and potential future of cyanobacteria, with a focus on understanding the drivers behind the resurgence of cHABs.
