HABs Monitoring

Harmful Algal Blooms in recent years have prompted HABs monitoring initiatives along the west shore. Prompt identification and reporting is an important element in understanding and responding to HABs.

Hydrilla Monitoring

WSNA volunteers assist in the efforts to watch for the spread of Hydrilla and to report the invasive species to the lake-wide database. The more residents with watchful eyes, the better our chances to remove Hydrilla.
