Initial On-Site Assessment

Welcome to this special episode of Algae Corner, out in the field, with Dr. West Bishop! What we’re covering today are On-Site Assessments. We’re going to look at some questions to ask and things to look for when you go to a specific site in order to help us develop a prescription for that site.

In summary, today we covered important things to ask when it comes to the initial On-Site Assessment. There are multiple factors involved, and this knowledge can be extremely valuable in helping categorize your pond or lake system. It also helps inform the direction of management, the need for management, and the intensity of management to get your pond or lake system on the right track.
