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 health of Skaneateles Lake is critical for maintaining a healthy and vibrant community. All of us who live within the Skaneateles Lake watershed and nearby areas are ultimately responsible for how well the lake survives. With the appearance of harmful blue-green algae blooms within Skaneateles Lake, the Village is taking our responsibility for protecting this critical recourse seriously by investigating immediate, short and long-term measures that address our impact on the Lake." - from website, 2020.02.03

Title: Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) Info

URL: https://skaneateleslake.org/hab/

Description: "Know it, AVOID it, Report it! Because it is hard to tell a HAB from non-harmful algal blooms, it is best to avoid swimming, boating, otherwise recreating in, or drinking water with a bloom. Keep reading to learn what to do if you spot a bloom. Click on the links below for more detailed information." - from website, 2020.01.31

Description: "WASHINGTON, DC, MAY 17, 2019 -- This week USGS scientists, with support from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, installed technologically advanced monitoring systems to study water-quality conditions and harmful algal blooms -- known as HABs -- in Owasco and Seneca lakes. In the next several weeks, instrumentation will also be installed on Skaneateles Lake." - from website, 2020.01.27
