SUMMARY:Webinar: Managed Nitrate Addition for Lake Water Quality Enhancement
DESCRIPTION:The California Lake Management Society is hosting this free webinar on managed nitrate addition to enhance water quality in lakes and reservoirs. \nNitrate is a significant water pollutant with potential environmental impacts ranging from eutrophication to health risks to infants. But under certain circumstances\, nitrate may enhance water quality through a number of mechanisms\, including regulation of redox potential and suppression of nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria. In this webinar\, Dr. Beutel will explore a range of case studies in which nitrate addition enhanced surface water quality including purposeful addition of nitrate to lakes to repress internal phosphorus loading\, enhance organic matter oxidation\, and impede bottom-water accumulation of methyl mercury; incidental addition of nitrate from point and non-point discharges to reservoirs and lakes; and nitrate addition to lakes to affect phytoplankton and zooplankton composition.

SUMMARY:Webinar: CyAN Mobile App Training
DESCRIPTION:Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (HABs)\, which can appear in water bodies across the country\, are an indicator of poor water quality and can potentially cause serious environmental and human and aquatic health effects. Historically\, monitoring these HABs has been labor-intensive and limited due to cost\, time\, and logistical constraints. \nEPA developed the CyAN app to help local and state water quality managers make faster and better-informed management decisions related to cyanobacterial blooms. It provides an easy to use\, customizable interface for accessing algal bloom satellite data for over 2\,000 of the largest lakes and reservoirs in the United States. \nThe CyAN mobile app is free and available for download on Google PlayTM. It is designed for use on AndroidTM devices and is compatible with versions 4.2-9.0. It is currently being developed as a web-based app\, which will be compatible with most devices. \nThe webinar will address the needs of new users as well as be a refresher for veteran users. The first half of the webinar will provide a general overview of the app including what it is used for\, why and how it was developed\, and who it was designed for. The second portion of the webinar will be a step-by-step tutorial on how to use the CyAN app followed by a Q&A session. \nWho should attend? State and local governments\, tribes\, utility professionals\, and others interested in early detection of algal blooms in U.S. water bodies. \nFor registration questions:\ntools_resources_webinar@epa.gov \nWebinar series coordinator: Lisa Matthews\, Senior Advisor and State Liaison matthews.lisa@epa.gov

SUMMARY:Potential Biological Control Agents Matched for Invasive Hydrilla Biotypes in the U.S.
DESCRIPTION:Biological control agents introduced into the U.S. for the control of invasive hydrilla have been partially effective and new agents are needed\, especially those adapted to cooler climates and environments. Since 2014\, extensive surveys of hydrilla have been conducted in Asia\, particularly China and the Republic of Korea\, where the U.S. introductions were thought to have originated. Samples were genetically characterized to identify matches with the three invasive U.S. introductions; separate dioecious and monoecious introductions last century and the more recent detection in the Connecticut River. Sites have been identified where each of these three distinct genotypes occur and include both monoecious and dioecious biotypes.  Surveys have been conducted at these sites to identify and collect herbivores to be evaluated as biological control agents. Matt Purcell\, Director of the USDA ARS Australian Biological Control Laboratory\, will provide an overview of those survey efforts and will discuss several insect species that are being evaluated to determine their potential effectiveness as biological control agents for U.S. invasive hydrilla.

SUMMARY:Webinar: A forest landscape approach to lake habitat protection
DESCRIPTION:Counties and SWCD’s are working to develop watershed-based comprehensive local water plans across Minnesota. In the past year two watersheds in the lake rich north-central part of the state have completed their plans and are now moving into implementation. The plans focus on long-term protection of private forest lands. The plans prioritize lakes\, then target parcels with a simple GIS approach. The goal of the plans is to achieve 75% protected forest cover in the lake’s watershed. The 75% strategy is based on research conducted by Peter Jacobson and Minnesota DNR Fisheries.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) and Algal Toxins
DESCRIPTION:1. Water Treatment Plant Evaluation Protocol for HABs. This presentation will summarize an optional protocol for water treatment plants that want to evaluate their ability to optimize treatment for cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins. The protocol was developed in partnership with Ohio EPA through the course of four pilot comprehensive performance evaluations (CPEs). Evaluations are intended to be comprehensive\, such that factors that could limit treatment performance during a HAB are identified by evaluating plant administration\, operations\, maintenance and design. Concepts and studies developed during the pilot project have been used by U.S. EPA and Ohio EPA staff to provide technical support related to HAB treatment. US EPA is in the process of finalizing the draft protocol for publication on the Agency’s website. \n2. Treatment Options for HABs Impacted Waters. This presentation will focus on the removal of cyanobacterial biomass through the conventional treatment process: coagulation\, flocculation\, sedimentation\, and filtration. It will also cover the removal of the toxins microcystin\, cylindrospermopsin\, and anatoxin through variations of the conventional treatment process: potassium permanganate application\, powdered activated carbon (PAC) application\, and chlorination. The presentation will conclude with data showing correlations between microcystin analyses performed by the ELISA and LC/MS/MS methods. \nDownload the flyer here.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Rising Water Levels and Impacts on Inland Lakes
DESCRIPTION:Recent news across the Great Lakes States has been about high water levels.  Water levels on each of the Great Lakes started 2020 higher than they started in 2019.  In addition\, Lakes Michigan and Huron have reached monthly mean record high levels this year. While this has captured the attention of the media and all levels of government\, lakes of all types\, including inland lakes\, are experiencing some degree of water level fluctuation in response to precipitation cycles. Learn about the current status of Great Lakes high water levels and how inland lakes are impacted from Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council policy director\, Jennifer McKay. Topics covered during the webinar will include best management practices for shoreline protection and advice to ensure your septic system is functioning properly and how to protect your drinking water during periods of high water. Jennifer McKay joined Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council in May of 2005. As Policy Director\, Jennifer is responsible for federal\, Great Lakes Basin wide\, state\, and local policy and advocacy to improve the level of protection for our water resources. She has been appointed to the Great Lakes Commission and the Michigan Underground Storage Tank Authority by Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Trophic interrogation of Michigan inland lake communities
DESCRIPTION:Top to bottom trophic interrogation of Michigan inland lake communities using eDNA metabarcoding \nCharacterization of freshwater aquatic animal and plant communities across trophic levels\, particularly detection of low abundance species\, including threatened and endangered and aquatic invasive species (AIS)\, is critical for informing management decisions. Water samples (N=953) from 22 inland lakes in Michigan were collected and eDNAs were extracted and used to amplify regions of the 16S and 12S rRNA loci (vertebrates) and rbcL (plants). Samples were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq. Species were identified by comparing the eDNA sequence data to a Michigan vertebrate and plant reference sequence databases. Measures of fish diversity and site occupancy based on eDNA metabarcoding were compared to estimates based on traditional sampling methods used in fish community surveys. Estimates of fish species total number\, relative abundance\, and community composition and diversity (Shannon index) derived from eDNA metabarcoding were comparable with estimates derived from traditional gear types used in fisheries assessments. Relative species metabarcode sequence abundance was correlated to species biomass and relative abundance. eDNA metabarcoding identified more species generally than did traditional gear\, particularly low abundance species including AIS. Species accumulation curves demonstrated that more fish species were added per additional water sample interrogated than was the case for traditional gear. AIS fish species richness was associated with lake area and connectivity to other water bodies. Heat maps characterized spatial heterogeneity in fish and plant species richness and distribution of AIS within lakes. Plant species were represented by aquatic\, wetland and terrestrial vascular plants and algae. Collectively\, results demonstrate that eDNA metabarcoding is amenable to monitoring aquatic community diversity\, species relative biomass\, as well as early AIS detection.

SUMMARY:Introducing Shoreline Living
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will highlight a new resource that inland lake supporters can use to showcase natural shorelines. “Shoreline Living” is a new magazine (online only at the moment\, though print copies are planned for the future) containing articles highlighting five families who live on natural shorelines. Beautiful photographs of each property accompany the articles\, and the families share their process in creating\, maintaining\, and enjoying their natural shorelines. The magazine can be used as a tool to promote natural shorelines by providing examples of everyday shoreline property owners who dipped their toes into a natural shoreline.
