Community Scientists Monitoring Missouri Lakes Since 1992
Quality Data, Quality People
On average, our each of our volunteers has been monitoring Missouri Lakes for more than 8 years.
Volunteer Collected, Laboratory Analyzed
We measure many lake properties. Some are physical (like temperature, clarity, and depth), some are chemical (like concentrations of nutrients), and others are biological (algae, cyanotoxins).
