Adirondack Aquatic Invasive Species Survey
Invasive species are any kind of living organism that is not native to an ecosystem and causes some sort of ecological, human health, or socio-economic harm. Every three years, the Adirondack Research Vessel in conjunction with The Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program, has conducted early detection of aquatic invasive species on White Lake using their specially equipped Adirondack Vessel and scientifically trained staff. Below, you can see the reports. Or click here to view the snapshot of findings at White Lake:
Adirondack Lake Assessment Program Report
The Adirondack Lake Assessment Program (ALAP) is a highly successful citizen science lake monitoring program that combines the enthusiasm of volunteers with the technology and expertise of scientists in the environmental field.
ALAP is a cooperative effort between Protect the Adirondacks (PROTECT) and the Paul Smith’s College Adirondack Watershed Institute (AWI). The objectives of ALAP are to: (1) develop a long-term water quality database for Adirondack lakes and document historical trends in their limnological condition, (2) provide a repository for water quality data that multiple stakeholders can use to make informed decisions, and (3) engender lake stewardship by providing opportunities for citizens to participate in scientific monitoring.
