SUMMARY:Benthic Harmful Cyanobacteria Bloom (HCB-2) Training
DESCRIPTION:Strategies for Preventing and Managing Harmful Cyanobacteria Blooms (Two Part Series)\nThe Harmful Cyanobacteria Blooms (HCBs) training reviews key information found in the two ITRC HCB Guidance Documents\, the 2021 Strategies for Preventing and Managing Harmful Cyanobacterial Blooms (HCB-1) and the 2022 companion document focused on benthic HCBs (HCB-2). ITRC’s HCB-2 focuses on the ecology\, toxin production\, management\, and mitigation of benthic HCBs and is a companion document to the HCB-1 document released by ITRC in March 2021. \nCyanobacteria are microscopic\, photosynthetic organisms that can be found naturally in all aquatic systems. Under certain conditions\, cyanobacteria can multiply and become very abundant\, discoloring the water throughout a water body or accumulating at the surface. These occurrences are known as “harmful cyanobacterial blooms (HCBs).” HCBs can occur in many parts of a water body. Planktonic HCBs occur when cyanobacteria dominate the open water of water bodies. ITRC’s HCB-1 guidance includes information about planktonic HCBs. \nIn addition to being suspended in the open water\, some cyanobacterial species grow attached to surfaces in a water body. These attached cyanobacteria can grow at the bottom of a water body (benthic zone) but may also be found nearer to the surface growing on submerged vegetation or woody debris. In any of these habitats the benthic cyanobacterial mats can produce and release cyanotoxins into the environment. When cyanobacteria proliferate as attached mats in benthic habitats instead of planktonic blooms\, they present unique challenges to evaluating and communicating the public health and environmental risks caused by this less familiar appearance of cyanobacteria. \nHCB-1 Training\nThe Harmful Cyanobacteria Bloom (HCB-1) training provides an overview of cyanobacteria (particularly planktonic blooms) and their management\, covering five sections from the ITRC HCB-1 guidance document: \n\nIntroduction to the Cyanobacteria (Section 3)\nMonitoring (Section 4)\nCommunication and Response Planning (Section 5)\nManagement and Control (Section 6)\nNutrient Management (Section 7)\n\nHCB-2 Training\nThe Benthic Harmful Cyanobacteria Bloom (HCB-2) training provides an overview of benthic cyanobacteria and their management\, covering five sections from the ITRC HCB-2 guidance document: \n\nIntroduction to the Benthic Cyanobacteria (Section 1)\nCyanotoxins (Section 2)\nMonitoring for Benthic Cyanobacteria (Section 3)\nIntroduction to Treatment Strategies (Section 4)\nCommunication and Response Planning for Benthic Cyanobacteria (Section 5)\n\nAfter both training’s\, you should understand: \n\nThe basic ecology and physiology of planktonic and benthic cyanobacteria\, and the harmful effects they have on health\, the environment\, and local economies\nAn overview of cyanotoxin classes and available cyanotoxin thresholds for human health (recreational and drinking water) and domestic animals\nCommon approaches to monitoring for cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins\, and how to build a monitoring program\nThe importance of good communication and coordinated response during HCBs\, and the elements of a good response plan\nAvailable options for in-lake management and control of HCBs\, including an introduction to possible treatment options for benthic cyanobacteria\nNutrient management options to reduce the likelihood of HCBs in your water body\n\nWe encourage you to use the ITRC HCB Resources (HCB-1 and HCB-2) and the recorded trainings to learn about planktonic and benthic cyanobacteria\, monitoring approaches\, management of active blooms\, and prevention of blooms in the future. For regulators and other government agency staff\, these materials present the current state of the science on cyanobacteria and approaches to manage and reduce the occurrence of blooms. We share examples and resources from across the country that can help you develop approaches of your own. While the training makes every effort to keep the information accessible to a wide audience\, it is assumed that the participants will have some basic technical understanding of biology\, lake management\, chemistry\, and environmental sciences. As with other emerging concerns\, our understanding of HCBs continues to advance. These trainings help you build HCB response plans now and point you to resources that will keep you up to date in the future.

SUMMARY:Getting into the Habit(at): Assessing Shallow Water Habitat in Maine Lakes
DESCRIPTION:Habitat in the shallow areas of lakes is important for all lake life\, but it can be degraded by loss of shoreland vegetation and poorly managed human development on lakeshores. We have developed methods to determine what natural shallow water habitat looks like in Maine lakes\, and measure how it is affected by human-induced activities along lakeshores. These surveys will help to determine which lakes need the most shoreland rehabilitation to help support healthy habitat. This presentation will discuss how those surveys are conducted and what the results mean for lakes in Maine.

SUMMARY:The Long Road from Pollution to Protection: 50 Years of the Clean Water Act
DESCRIPTION:We all live in a watershed\, and our human footprints impact them all. Join us for a living history of the state of water quality in Maine by aquatic biologist Matt Scott. Matt will focus on the history of Maine’s polluted waterways based on past records and deep personal and work history. The beginning of this living history perhaps dates back to the industrial revolution with Maine’s recovery from the great depression and World War II. Water quality degradation of our aquatic environment continued and it took decades for this problem to become evident and influence public policy. During this time\, Maine’s major rivers (St John\, Penobscot\, Kennebec\, Androscoggin\, Presumpscot\, Saco and their major tributaries) were heavily impacted by pollution. However\, with the passage of the Clean Water Act (CWA) in 1972\, led by Maine Senator Ed Muskie\, things were set to change for the better. We made progress in lake protection and river and stream water quality improvement\, beginning with treatment of major municipal and industrial waste We also saw the adoption of biological with narrative and numerical standards developed by the Maine Dept. of Environmental Protection’s Biological Division led by David Courtemanch and his staff. From 2005-2015\, Maine was able to demonstrate how far it had come with a new classification system and mapping of those waters that have been protected by revised and new water quality standards.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Keeping Your Assets Above Water
DESCRIPTION:Climate change and its impact on water supplies is obviously a hot topic in today’s news\, especially as agencies look again towards mandatory water conservation measures and cutbacks in water deliveries for a broad range of uses. One of the most hotly debated topics is the subject of water storage. We hear a lot about the potential for new dams\, and that is certainly worth discussing\, but we are only recently looking at opportunities to manage our existing dams and reservoirs differently in order to maximize their water storage capabilities.  \nWe are looking at a paradigm shift in the way things have been done over the last hundred years or more\, and now water managers are looking at applying technology (such as the newly coined “Forecast Informed Reservoir Operations” or “FIRO” programs)\, or through changes in operations\, such as the restoration of the water storage capacity of the existing dams that has been lost through sedimentation.  Fortunately\, there are now examples throughout the state of initial efforts to address this challenge. \nThis presentation provides several examples of how communities are preparing (or not) for the anticipated effects climate change and the “new normal” of expected water supplies and storage. We will consider the environmental and social impacts\, as well as potential impacts to flood protection and hydropower energy production that might result from a paradigm shift in future reservoir and water storage operations.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Come Hell(s Canyon) or High Water
DESCRIPTION:Free Webinar:\nCome Hell(s Canyon) or High Water — Methylmercury production\, uptake\, and export from a seasonally anoxic reservoir \nPresenter: Austin Baldwin\, Research Hydrologist with the USGS Idaho Water Science Center in Boise\, Idaho\n\nAbstract: Anoxic conditions within reservoirs related to thermal stratification and oxygen depletion lead to methylmercury (MeHg) production\, a key process governing the uptake of mercury in aquatic food webs. Once formed within a reservoir\, the timing and magnitude of the biological uptake of MeHg and the relative importance of MeHg export in water versus biological compartments remain poorly understood. We examined the relations between the reservoir stratification state\, anoxia\, and the concentrations and export loads of MeHg in aqueous and biological compartments at the outflow locations of two reservoirs of the Hells Canyon Complex (Snake River\, Idaho-Oregon). Results show that (1) MeHg concentrations in filter-passing water\, zooplankton\, suspended particles\, and detritus increased in response to reservoir destratification; (2) zooplankton MeHg strongly correlated with MeHg in filter-passing water during destratification; (3) reservoir anoxia appeared to be a key control on MeHg export; and (4) biological MeHg\, primarily in zooplankton\, accounted for only 5% of total MeHg export from the reservoirs (the remainder being aqueous compartments). These results improve our understanding of the role of biological incorporation of MeHg and the subsequent downstream release from seasonally stratified reservoirs and demonstrate that in-reservoir physical processes strongly influence MeHg incorporation at the base of the aquatic food web. \n \nWebinar Sponsor:

SUMMARY:Women in Wetlands Section Webinar: Does restoration work? An amphibian-centric look at restoration in geographically isolated wetlands
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is for SWS members only. \nGeographically isolated wetlands provide a critical habitat for pond-breeding amphibians\, a taxa of broad conservation concern. Restoration of wetlands typically includes goals to recover the wetlands’ physiochemical\, hydrological\, and ecological functions. However\, for pond-breeding amphibians\, successful restoration should also result in sustained populations\, which is difficult to assess and infrequently reported. In this talk\, I will provide a broad overview of restoration practices addressing hydrology\, vegetation\, and ecological processes within these unique environments and across spatial scales. Then I will summarize the evidence\, and discuss the limitations\, for evaluating successful restoration within the context of amphibian conservation. Finally\, I will share some recommendations for researchers and practitioners to leverage prior successes and establish systematic data collection and dissemination. \nSpeaker: Angela Burrows

SUMMARY:July 2023 Webinar - A Broad Scale 2\,500 Acre Wetland Habitat Restoration Project in South Florida
DESCRIPTION:Monthly webinars are offered as a benefit of membership. Once each quarter\, in March\, July\, September\, and December\, the monthly SWS webinar is open for non-members to attend (and at no cost)\, as well. \nAvenir is a mixed-use development in Palm Beach Gardens\, Florida. The parent property was comprised of 4\,763 +/- acres of highly altered lands\, ditched and drained to support various agricultural uses for over 50 years. Over 50% of the property (2\,400 +/- acres) was set aside for habitat restoration\, wetland mitigation\, and conservation. This webinar focuses on the approach\, design\, and implementation of the native habitat restoration and conservation elements of the project. \nFrom a regional perspective\, the Avenir habitat restoration project is uniquely situated in the broader landscape such that the benefits to the regional ecology are much greater than the sum of its parts. The parent property was the only remaining privately owned parcel in a regional continuum of publicly owned and managed conservation properties extending from Lake Okeechobee to the Atlantic Ocean. For over 40 years prior to the Avenir project\, the parent property was the subject of multiple conservation acquisition efforts by local\, state\, and federal entities. This “missing link” in the regional ecology now functions as a wildlife corridor connection\, an enhancement to water storage and water quality for the Northern Everglades system\, and renewed habitat for a diverse assemblage of wildlife including several species listed as threatened or endangered. Of significant importance is the fact that this has been achieved without expenditure of public funds for acquisition\, restoration\, and long-term management. \nWe will describe the base conditions\, habitat restoration techniques\, successes\, and learning experiences in this ongoing project. A combination of invasive species eradication and hydrologic restoration actions will be discussed along with the adaptive management approaches developed as the project has progressed. \nSpeaker: Edward R. Weinberg

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.
