SUMMARY:Cyanobacteria-focused Education Trip on Lake Champlain for Science Writers and Media
DESCRIPTION:Date/Time: Tuesday\, July 7\, from 10 AM–12 PM \nLocation: 3 College St\, Burlington\, VT (on the south side of the Rubenstein Ecosystem Sciences/ECHO building). Please note that parking there requires an hourly payment. \n\n\n\nA trip aboard the R/V Marcelle Melosira will be offered for science writers and media from across the Lake Champlain Basin on July 7 from 10:00 AM to noon. This trip on Lake Champlain will focus on cyanobacteria blooms and will include short presentations by several leading researchers in the Lake Champlain Basin about the status of cyanobacteria blooms in the lake and other waterbodies in the Basin.  \nThere will be an opportunity for the trip participants to engage in one-on-one interviews with the researchers and a hands-on activity/demonstration (challenge by choice) to sample the lake water and see some of the cyanobacteria up close through microscopes connected to a large screen display in the classroom aboard the R/V.  \nRegistration is on a first-come\, first-served basis.  \nClick here to register

SUMMARY:Road Salt-focused Education Trip on Lake Champlain for Municipal Staff and Local Leaders
DESCRIPTION:Date/Time: Wednesday\, July 15\, from 3–5 PM. \nLocation: 3 College St\, Burlington\, VT (on the south side of the Rubenstein Ecosystem Sciences/ECHO building). Please note that parking there requires an hourly payment. \nCost: $30 for municipal leaders; free for road foremen \nLake Champlain Sea Grant is hosting a unique trip aboard the R/V Marcelle Melosira for municipal staff and board members. The trip is designed to bring together municipal road foremen and crews with selectboard and conservation commission members and other community leaders for an exchange of knowledge related to sustainable winter road salting practices. We will also talk about water quality and how road salt can impact life in streams and lakes.  \nEach participant is encouraged to bring along a sample of water from a local stream\, pond\, or lake near where they live. During the excursion on Lake Champlain\, each person will test their water sample to assess its electrical conductivity. This can be used to estimate how much chloride is in the water\, much of which comes from road salt spread in the winter months. Participants will also sample from Lake Champlain and measure its electrical conductivity\, and will have the option to collect zooplankton (tiny organisms that live suspended in the water).  \nRegistration is on a first-come\, first-served basis. All participants must be in close-toed shoes to board the boat. \nClick here to register\n— \nIf you require an accommodation related to a disability\, please contact Accessibility Services at least 2 weeks prior to your selected date by emailing access@uvm.edu and copying seagrant@uvm.edu\, or calling (802) 656-7753. \nCancellations must be made more than 1 week before the trip so we can allow someone from the waitlist to participate. Email cancellations to seagrant@uvm.edu. \nIf the boat is not able to sail due to weather conditions and the event is canceled\, you will be notified via email. The Staff and boat Captain will do their best to make a decision within 12 hours of the trip.
