The PA Lake Management Society is now accepting registrations for its virtual Annual Conference set for March 3-4. Join PALMS to learn more about Managing for Emerging Threats.
Lakes, ponds, and reservoirs across Pennsylvania are faced with overlapping threats. Sometimes the threats are synergistic and amplify impacts, but other times more obvious threats could easily mask or distract from others lurking without common and immediate detection.
Managers, investigators, and stewards of these waters have privileged insights to share on this otherwise muted and sometimes considered invisible world.
The keynote speaker for the Conference is Dr. West Bishop, Algae Scientist and Water Quality Research Manager At SePRO Corporation in North Carolina.
