The Lake Winnipesaukee Association will host two discussions in the coming weeks focused on cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae. In June, conservationists received reports of the bacteria in every section of the lake.
The first will be held Wednesday, July 31, 5-6 p.m. at the Moultonborough Public Library and the second on Aug. 1, 4-5 p.m. at Wolfeboro Town Hall.
These programs will cover information on what cyanobacteria are, the risks they pose to human and animal health, and the proactive steps the Lake Winnipesaukee Association is taking to combat this threat.
President of the Lake Winnipesaukee Association Pat Tarpey said, “This has been an unprecedented start to the summer, with numerous cyanobacteria warnings issued for Lake Winnipesaukee in June. These talks are a perfect opportunity to understand the concerns, learn why you should care, and learn what steps you can take to lessen the risks associated with these toxic bacteria.”
