Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) in New York State Web Archive

Collected by: Cornell University Library

Archived since: Jan, 2020

Description:

In recent years, citizens of New York who are living on or around freshwater lakes have learned first-hand how inconvenient and at times dangerous harmful algal blooms (HABs) can be. Many have become involved in citizen science efforts, gathering water samples that can be analyzed for the presence of HABs. Meanwhile, local news sources, NGOs, and government organizations have undertaken efforts to educate the public about the risks of exposure to HABs, and some have shared strategies for reducing the potency and frequency of HABs in their communities. To capture this moment in time, Cornell University Library is preserving and making accessible selected websites identified as being reflective of how citizens are responding to the risk of HABs as well as how scientific information is being shared.

Description: "The purpose of the proposed study is to establish an advanced water-quality monitoring program in three Finger Lakes—Owasco Lake, Seneca Lake, and Skaneateles Lake—using a combination of advanced sensor technology and discrete water-quality data collection to better understand the environmental conditions associated with CyanoHAB development in New York lakes. Continuous water-quality monitoring stations will be established in Owasco Lake and Seneca Lake, and synoptic surveys of factors contributing to HABs will be conducted at all three lakes." - from website, 2020.03.02
