Researchers updated the Lake George Park Commission on their ongoing study of the first harmful algal blooms spotted in the Adirondack lake this fall.
In late October, the Lake George Association identified the first harmful algal bloom in the Queen of American Lakes. In a lake known for its clear waters, the sighting was unusual but also something that officials had been preparing for.
Walt Lender, Executive Director of the LGA, spoke to WAMC in November.
“Lake George has always been and is a low-nutrient lake. So we typically would not expect to see a harmful algal bloom, however, this clearly shows us that we are not immune to harmful algal blooms,” said Lender.
