SUMMARY:Clear Lake's Toxic Legacy: Exploring Cyanotoxin Production and its Impact on Beneficial Uses
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Sarah Ryan\nEnvironmental Director/Emergency Management Director\nEnvironmental Protection Department\, Big Valley Band of Pomo Indians \n“Clear Lake’s Toxic Legacy: Exploring Cyanotoxin Production and Its Impact on Beneficial Uses” will highlight the work of the Big Valley Band of Pomo Indians since 2014 in evaluating recurring cyanobacteria blooms on Clear Lake. Through toxin analyses of tissue\, ambient water and private water systems\, the Tribe has put together a compelling narrative on the wide-reaching impacts of cyanotoxins\, the importance of educating the public\, and the need for standards to protect sensitive populations. \nJoin with Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/wmc-vbwt-wzx\nOr dial: (US) +1 872-256-0853 PIN: 293696645#\nMore phone numbers: https://tel.meet/wmc-vbwt-wzx?pin=8881496353263&hs=7

SUMMARY:The contributions of Indigenous People's earth observations to water quality monitoring
DESCRIPTION:Indigenous Peoples hold vast knowledge of the planet and its resources. This knowledge is essential to maintain the healthiest ecosystems on the planet and can support current monitoring efforts. While advances to integrate indigenous knowledge exist\, a proper involvement of indigenous peoples in policy and scientific process has to date been limited. Consequently\, the precise observations of indigenous peoples remain poorly integrated and overlooked. In this webinar we will present examples of indigenous people’s observations\, understandings and ways of managing the natural environment\, with focus on components of the hydrological cycle. We will explore further cases that will complement results of our most recent publication and discuss the potential of indigenous knowledge for supporting global water monitoring efforts. The workshop will take place online and the language will be in English. This workshop is organised by GEO AquaWatch\, GEO Indigenous Alliance\, AquaWatch Australia and the World Water Quality Alliance (WWQA).

SUMMARY:Webinar: Lake weeds or plant communities? Some thoughts on Eurasian watermilfoil management\, control prioritization\, and new work to nurture care and appreciation
DESCRIPTION:Free Midwest Glacial Lakes Partnership Webinar\nRegistration: http://midwestglaciallakes.org/resources/webinars/\nDescription: This presentation will start with some findings about Eurasian watermilfoil management and management prioritization – in that work\, we wanted to better understand and provide context to some of the effects of whole lake herbicide treatments we observed in survey data. From there\, we developed a model to predict lakes likely to experience future EWM introductions and lakes likely able to support dense populations. We hope that information could help guide smart prevention and smart management. More recently\, we are interested in expanding the way folks are able to think and talk about plant communities – by naming\, narrating\, and celebrating unique community assemblages\, we hope eventually to enable people to appreciate\, connect to\, and experience part of the natural world that usually remains hidden.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Walleye stocking success in the Midwestern USA
DESCRIPTION:Free Midwest Glacial Lakes Partnership Webinar\nRegistration: http://midwestglaciallakes.org/resources/webinars/\nDescription: This study evaluated stocking success of Walleye in lakes and reservoirs across the Midwestern United States to inform stocking practices for state agencies. Demand for Walleye stocking may increase if climate change limits the potential for natural recruitment in lakes. Consequently\, the strategic distribution of Walleye stocking may maximize fishing opportunities. Latitude and year explained relatively little variation in stocking success compared to within‐lake variation. Relative abundance of Largemouth Bass was an important indicator of Walleye stocking success for fry and fingerlings\, with stocking success generally decreasing with increased bass abundance. There was an interaction between lake surface area and growing degree‐days\, as large lakes (>2500 ha) seemed to be more conducive to Walleye stocking success regardless of growing degree‐days. The models that we developed did not accurately predict exact levels of Walleye stocking success but were 92–94% accurate in predicting whether the stocking success of both fry and fingerlings would be at or above the 50th percentile. These findings may help to inform the management and stocking allocation of Walleye and suggest that future increases in Largemouth Bass abundance and growing degree‐days could limit the effectiveness of stocking in some lakes.
