COURSE OVERVIEW
Hot Topic: Harmful Algae Blooms
Residents statewide have felt the recreational and economic impacts caused by
Harmful Algae Blooms (HABs). What occurred that triggered intense blue-green
algae (cyanobacteria) growth and the production of the cyanotoxins linked to
human and pet health problems? How is the state tracking such blooms and what
can we do to protect our lakes and reservoirs from experiencing a HAB? Learn
this and much more in the Rutgers Lake Management Course this November!
If you want your lake and watershed management efforts to be successful, you
need a technically sound foundation. This course will give you the training you
need to properly investigate and diagnose lake quality problems and to develop
and implement cost-effective restoration measures.
Throughout the course, you will learn how to evaluate, protect, manage, and
restore your pond, lake, or reservoir. You will receive detailed instructions,
including numerous case-study examples, of commonly implemented lake and pond
restoration and management techniques. The interactive nature of the course will
provide attendees with the opportunity to discuss the specific issues and
problems impacting the condition of their waterbody, whether that be a small
pond, large lake, drinking water reservoir, or fishing lake.
FEATURED TOPICS
* Overview of Ecology of Lakes, Ponds, and Reservoirs
* How to Design and Get the Most Out of a Water Quality Monitoring Program
* Implementation of a Lake Restoration Plan
* Identification of Invasive Aquatic Weeds and Nuisance Algae
* Harmful Algae Blooms: Identifying, Preventing, and Mitigating HABs
* IPM Strategies: Proper Selection and Use of Algaecide and Herbicides
