HABs 101 Webinar: Prevention and Management

April 2, 2025 6:00PM - 8:00PM

Zoom


Contact: Erica Clites

In previous “HABs 101” webinars, we learned about the basics of harmful algal blooms and the value of algae in aquatic ecosystems

This April, join us for “HABs 101: Prevention and Management” for insights into what to do when your pond or lake turns green (hint: it’s not always a problem!). Get concrete tips for reducing the risk and impact of harmful algal blooms in your water and preventing them from happening again in the future. 

Hosted by Michigan Sea Grant and partners around the state, the webinar will cover topics including septic systems, nutrient budgets, direct management options, and more.
