Volunteers play an integral
role in protecting and improv-
ing the health of Mason County
lakes.
Washington Sea Grant is
seeking volunteers to help moni-
tor lake water quality for Ma-
son County Lakes. Back in the
1990's, Washington Sea Grant
and the Washington State De-
partment of Ecology trained and
provided technical assistance to
people that lived on or near a
lake to help monitor their lake's
health. New lake property own-
ers are eager to learn how to
monitor and assess the health
of their lake and past volunteers
are interested in learning new
monitoring skills.
In conjunction with the Frank
Family Foundation, Washing-
ton Sea Grant is re-launching
the Lake Stewardship program.
On Saturday, May 28, volun-
teers can learn techniques and
protocols for monitoring a lake's
health.
The session will be hands-on
with volunteers learning how to
measure various water quality
parameters and identify aquatic
plants. Previous experience is
not necessary; organizers will
provide training and some of the
monitoring equipment for volun-
teers to use on their lake.
The information collected by
volunteers over the summer will
be used to:
Determine the current con-
ditions of Mason County lakes,
evaluate changes in lake health
over time, identify problems af-
fecting a specific lake in the early
stages, provide support for main-
taining and restoring lakes and
educate lakeside landowners on
how to improve lake health.
Being a volunteer lake moni-
tor is a fun and rewarding expe-
rience. Activities include mea-
suring water transparency and
surface temperature, identifying
aquatic vegetation and collecting
water samples.
All a volunteer needs is direct
access to their lake, participate
in the five-hour volunteer train-
ing and conduct routine (bi-
monthly) monitoring from June
to October. A volunteer can team
up with their neighbors to con-
duct the monitoring - it makes it
twice as fun.
The volunteer training will
be held from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30
p.m. on Saturday, May 28, at the
Cranberry Lake Research and
Education Center.
