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.

SUMMARY:World Water Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:  \nWorld Water Day\, held on 22 March every year since 1993\, is an annual United Nations Observance focusing on the importance of freshwater. \nThe theme of World Water Day 2020 is water and climate change – and how the two are inextricably linked. For those of us who live\, work or play on lakes\, we are already seeing the impacts of climate change\, from rising water temperatures\, loss of winter ice cover\, changes in lake stratification\, increased evaporation\, and more extreme weather events\, including droughts and intense rainstorms. Climate change is further complicating already challenging lake protection and restoration efforts\, from managing harmful algal blooms (HABs) to preventing and controlling invasive species. \nWorld Water Day 2020: Water and Climate Change

SUMMARY:Coastal Resilience in the Great Lakes Region
DESCRIPTION:A live webcast will be streamed at 2:30 PM EST at www.eesi.org/livecast (wireless connection permitting) \nThe Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) invites you to a briefing on the actions being taken to manage increasing temperatures\, flooding\, and other coastal hazards impacting communities and ecosystems in the Great Lakes region. This briefing will showcase nature-based solutions for climate adaptation in rural and urban settings\, and show how cutting-edge technology and traditional practices can be used to create resilient communities. \nThe panelists will describe the collaborative process between federal\, state\, and local stakeholders in collecting\, sharing\, and acting on scientific data to inform policy decisions around adaptation and help communities define and achieve their resilience goals. These projects can serve as a model for other regions experiencing similar issues. \nSpeakers\nBeth Gibbons\nExecutive Director\, American Society of Adaptation Professionals (ASAP) \nRob Croll\nPolicy Analyst/Climate Change Program Coordinator\, Great Lakes Indian Fish & Wildlife Commission (GLIFWC) \nScudder Mackey\nChief\, Office of Coastal Management\, Ohio Department of Natural Resources \nBrody Stapel\nPresident\, Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative\, Co-owner\, Double Dutch Dairy \nBeth Gibbons of the American Society of Adaptation Professionals will discuss efforts supporting urban areas in identifying challenges—and responses—arising from climate change. She will focus her talk on adaptation within Detroit’s agricultural\, tourism\, and real estate sectors. \nRob Croll of Great Lakes Indian Fish & Wildlife Commission will discuss GLIFWC’s work to understand how climate change is impacting off-reservation communities and ecosystems critical to its member Ojibwe tribes\, and tools used to develop comprehensive plans to manage these impacts in culturally appropriate ways. \nScudder Mackey of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources will discuss projects resulting from the Great Lakes Coastal Assembly\, a collaborative effort between NGOs and international\, federal\, and state agencies to protect and restore coastal wetlands across the Great Lakes region. \nBrody Stapel of Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative will discuss economic and environmental challenges to farming in Wisconsin and climate-smart agricultural practices on his farm and among members of the Dairy Strong Sustainability Alliance. \nThe Great Lakes region faces a unique set of challenges\, yet solutions developed here can be borrowed\, adapted\, and used by districts and states around the country to increase ecosystem\, community\, and sectoral resilience to the impacts of climate change. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP to expedite check-in.

This event is great for scouts working on badges\, youth groups\, family groups\, school kids. Email awilson@bwdh2o.org. \nLake/Boat Volunteers\nThe event is named for the Secchi Disk\, a black and white device lowered into the water to measure clarity. Volunteers with boats help us gather samples that day. This takes about 20-30 minutes\, but there’s travel time involved depending on where your sample point is located. Pre-registration well in advance is required. Additionally\, you must have a boat (in some instances\, sites that need to be sampled may be accessed via a kayak\, a canoe or a stand-up paddle-board that is rigged to carry sampling gear and an ice chest). To indicate your interest in volunteering\, email Matthew Rich at mrich@bwdh2o.org.

SUMMARY:Early Detection of Algal Blooms in US Freshwater Systems: CyAN Mobile Application
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. EPA developed the Cyanobacteria Assessment Network Mobile Application (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. \nCyAN app is free and available for download on Google Play™. It is designed for use on Android™ devices and is compatible with versions 4.2-9.0 (API levels 18-26). It is currently being developed as a web-based app\, which will be compatible with most devices. \n1. Overview Presentation and Q&A Session (2:00-2:30 pm ET). This portion 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\, as well as state case studies from their beta testing of the CyAN app. The research that led to the development of the app was conducted in collaboration with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)\, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)\, and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) through the CyAN Project. \n2. Step-by-Step Training and Q&A Session (2:30-3:30 pm ET). The second half of the webinar will be a step-by-step tutorial on how to use the CyAN app. We will walk through example scenarios and show you how to make fast and efficient initial assessments across water bodies that are roughly one square kilometer or greater. You will learn how to view cyanobacteria concentrations on a national-scale or zoom in to see data for a specific lake or reservoir\, how to set queries to determine if blooms exceed your set limits\, how to compare multiple water bodies at once\, and how to use other functions in the app.

SUMMARY:Volunteer Monitoring: Connecting Volunteer Data to the Water Quality Portal
DESCRIPTION:NWQMC Webinar Series \nPresented by\nBarb Horn\, Colorado Parks & Wildlife\nJohn Dawes\, Chesapeake Commons\nLaura Shumway\, Environmental Protection Agency \nThe webinar is free; pre-registration is required. Please login 10 minutes early. \nThe goal of most volunteer monitoring programs is to ensure that well-trained volunteers collect data of known quality and use data used for change. In the study design process (where programs think through monitoring questions\, data use goals\, and the who\, what\, where\, why of monitoring) thinking through data management and data sharing is a crucial step. Data sharing into central location is often a challenge for volunteer monitoring programs but there are tools available to facilitate data input into the U.S. Water Quality Portal. This webinar will share a 101 overview on the WQP\, tools to facilitate data sharing\, and highlight a state example of volunteer input into the federal repository.
