I have scanned in and posted below a great article titled “My Poor Little Lake” about Blue-Green algae and lakes it has affected across New York State.

The article was written by Scott Kisbaugh and Karen Stainbrook who both work for the NYS DEC. Scott is our contact in the CSLAP water and lake monitoring program.

The article appears in the April 2014 issue of New York State Conservationist magazine, a publication of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. If you don’t already subscribe, it is $21 for a 2 year subscription of 14 issues (publication is bi-monthly during Oct – April and monthly during the summer).

You can read it below by clicking on the images to bring up larger copies, or you can download the article in PDF format (or smaller pdf).
