SUMMARY:Road Salt-focused Education Trip on Lake Champlain for Municipal Staff and Local Leaders
DESCRIPTION:Date/Time: Tuesday\, September 1\, from 2:30–4:30 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.

SUMMARY:Lake Champlain Environmental Sensitivity Index Mapping
DESCRIPTION:Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) maps provide a concise summary of coastal resources that face potential risk in the event of an oil or chemical spill nearby. Incident response managers use these maps from a wide range of federal and state agencies to identify vulnerable coastal locations and guide decision-making about where and how to prioritize emergency response and restoration activities. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has established guidance and developed a portal for publishing nationally consistent ESI maps. The Lake Champlain Basin Program\, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency\, and U.S. Geological Survey recognize the need to create these maps for the 587 miles of Lake Champlain shoreline so that protection priorities and response strategies can be identified\, allowing rapid response in the case of an oil or chemical spill. This presentation will provide an overview of the Lake Champlain Environmental Sensitivity Index Mapping. \nClick here to register. \nPresenter: Ben Fisher\, physical scientist\, U.S. Geological Survey New York Water Science Center

SUMMARY:Flood Resilience Tour: Rivers\, Beavers & Restoration
DESCRIPTION:Join Amanda Garland\, Vermont River Conservancy’s Stewardship Manager\, Alison Spasyk\, Flood Resilience Educator with Lake Champlain Sea Grant\, and Rod Coronado\, Wildlife Programs Director for Sage Mountain Botanical\, for a guided walk along the Jail Branch River above the Barre Flood Control Dam to explore river dynamics\, riparian buffer zones\, and floodplain connectivity. Along the way\, we’ll learn how our history of managing rivers has shaped them today\, discover how beavers can help restore healthier waterways\, and visit a second site to see a beaver flow device—a restoration tool that helps beavers and people coexist. \nWhen \n\nWednesday September 16\, 2026 from 5:00 PM–6:30 PM\n\nWhat to Bring \n\nWater bottle\nBoots and long pants encouraged\n\nMeeting and Parking Location: East Barre \nDirections: From Barre\, travel east on Route 302 through the East Barre traffic circle and continue for approximately 1 mile. The parking area will be on your right\, directly across from Reservoir Road. From Orange\, travel west on Route 302 for approximately 1.5 miles past the town center.

SUMMARY:Research Seminar: Status of Round Goby in Eastern North America: Implications for Lake Champlain
DESCRIPTION:Lake Champlain Sea Grant and the UVM Water Resources Institute are pleased to announce a Fall 2026 Research Seminar Series. This series of five seminars will be held on select Mondays from 12–1 PM throughout the semester\, with an approximately 30–40-minute presentation followed by 20-minutes for questions. Each presentation will be recorded and made available on our website after the event. \n9/21 (Remote via Teams) – Scott George \, Status of Round Goby in Eastern North America: Implications for Lake Champlain. Join online here. \nScott George is a biologist in the Watersheds Research Section of the USGS New York Water Science Center in Troy\, NY. He completed a master’s degree at the State University at Albany (SUNY) in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology on the impact of severe flooding on lotic biota. Scott’s current research is aimed at better understanding riverine fish\, benthic macroinvertebrate\, and periphyton communities and the disturbances that impact them. Specific ongoing projects include monitoring the expansion of Round Goby towards the Hudson River using environmental DNA and other methods\, studying the recovery of fish assemblages in acid-impacted Catskill Mountain streams\, and evaluating the toxicity of sediments to benthic macroinvertebrates in Great Lakes Areas of Concern.
