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:NALMS 2020 Abstracts Due
DESCRIPTION:  \nNALMS at 40: Leveraging Experience to Manage Diverse Lakes\, Landscapes and People\n40th International Symposium of the North American Lake Management Society\nNovember 16–20\, 2020 – Minneapolis\, Minnesota\nNALMS Conference Committee members are monitoring information about how the coronavirus might affect future gatherings and travel. Should plans for the 2020 NALMS Symposium change\, we will provide updates here and on the Symposium landing page. Meanwhile\, we urge potential presenters to submit abstracts by the deadline\, thereby allowing Planning Committee members to provide timely information regarding the technical content of the Symposium.\nThe Dakota (Sioux) homeland Mni Sóta Maķoce means “land where the waters reflect the clouds.” Nicknamed “Land of 10\,000 Lakes\,” Minnesota really has almost 12\,000 inland basins covering at least 10 acres\, but across the state\, they are mostly rural and rather diverse. Deep\, oligotrophic waters are typical in northeastern boreal forests near Superior\, the world’s largest areal\, freshwater lake. Shallow\, hypereutrophic lakes predominate in southwestern agricultural plains. \nWith about 30 lakes and 700\,000 residents within 64 square miles\, the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul reflect some of the challenges of managing Minnesota’s urban landscapes. Generations of Dakota (Sioux) called the area’s largest and deepest lake Bdé Makhá Ská\, but since the 1820s\, it had been called Lake Calhoun. In 2018\, the federal government officially restored the name\, but the Minnesota Court of Appeals in 2019 reversed the state’s official designation of the indigenous name. Positioned in this nexus between Minnesota’s rural-urban diversities and past-future legacies\, Minneapolis hosts the 2020 symposium that focuses on NALMS’ 40 years of experience. The Program Committee hopes this symposium not only reflects with 20/20 hindsight\, but also predicts with 20/20 foresight!

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:Understanding Macroalgal Blooms in Freshwater Ecosystems
DESCRIPTION:The incidence of freshwater algal blooms has been increasing across North America\, including regions with no historical record of bloom occurrence. Eutrophication and climate change have been implicated as major drivers of microalgal (i.e.\, phytoplankton) blooms. In contract\, microalgal (i.e.\, visible\, mat-forming algae) blooms are not consistently explained by nutrients\, and not much is known about the role of climate change. Morphologically diverse species of macroalgae bloom across a range of habitats and nutrient conditions\, even in systems where nutrient concentrations are low. This presentation will explore how morphological traits and habitat features may support the emergence of macroalgal blooms\, with a particular focus on three species: Cladophora glomerata\, Didymosphenia geminata\, and Nitellopsis obtusa. \nPresenter: Dr. Andrea Kirkwood\, Ontario Tech University

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.
