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.

Title: Tracking Harmful Algal Blooms: are they here to stay? - ithacavoice.com

URL: https://ithacavoice.com/2019/07/tracking-harmful-algal-blooms-are-they-here-to-stay/

Description: News article on HABs in Cayuga Lake: "ITHACA, N.Y. — Conditions have been right for Harmful Algal Blooms so far this summer, as blooms have begun popping up again on Cayuga Lake. But, as this has become a regular summer issue, the community has stepped up to closely monitor the blooms and report findings. About 80 volunteers called "HABs Harriers" patrol stretches of Cayuga Lake and send samples of any suspected bloom for local testing. Three local environmental nonprofit organizations are leading efforts to monitor the blooms — the Community Science Institute, the Cayuga Lake Watershed Network and Discover Cayuga Lake." - article posted on website on 2019.07.23
