unloading and setting our new gingko tree.

TOWN AFFILIATES:
VOLUNTEER TO MONITOR HABs (Harnful Algal Blooms)
The Cayuga Lake Watershed Network and Community Science Institute are offering a volunteer training to
identify, collect and report HABs.
Lakeshore homeowners, boaters and anglers are specifically encouraged to attend a 2 hour training in

For more information, location and dates email info@communityscience.org or programs@cayugalake.org.
NEW YORK STATE:
Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) Notifications
DEC’s harmful algal bloom (HABs) Harmful algal bloom notification season has started. The HABs
Notifications webpage (http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/83310.html) will be updated every Friday through
the fall.
8 new waterbodies with HABs have been added to the HABs Notifications webpage.
Because waterbodies may have HABs that have not been reported to DEC, we recommend avoiding
contact with floating mats, scum and discolored water.
If you suspect you have seen a HAB, or you, your family, or pet has been in contact with a HAB, please
follow the instructions for reporting a bloom to DEC.
