Happy Lakes Appreciation Month!


July is Lakes Appreciation Month , a great time to get out and enjoy your favorite lake, or perhaps one that you've never seen before. Coinciding with Lakes Appreciation Month, the 15th Annual Secchi Dip-In will take place between June 28 and July 20. The Dip-In is a network of volunteers that collects Secchi disk and other water quality data from water bodies around the world. Because volunteers contribute data year after year, trends in transparency are able to be tracked over time. For cumulative results of past dip-ins, visit http://dipin.kent.edu/results.htm. For more information on how to participate in Lakes Appreciation events or the Dip-In, click the links above.
