[Lake Winnipesaukee Assoc]

Thank you for sharing!! In addition to contacting DES, the Lake Winnipesaukee Association is working toward tracking all cyanobacteria observations, alerts, and advisories in the Winnipesaukee watershed and would appreciate being notified as well. We are working with DES to collaborate and coordinate the collection and identification of cyanobacteria within the watershed. We may be available to come out and take a water sample if you suspect cyanobacteria. Although we do not have the capabilities to quantify the sample in the same way that DES does (which is how they issue an alert or advisory) we are able to potentially identify and confirm the presence of cyanobacteria. The ephemeral nature of cyanobacteria makes it imperative to collect a sample as soon as possible which is why we are assisting DES in these efforts.
