FOGL in partnership with the East Gippsland Catchment Management Authority<\/strong> has restarted the Lakes WaterWatch<\/strong> water quality monitoring program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Waterwatch program lapsed during Covid except for two automated sites monitored by EGCMA and others along Forge Creek monitored by Romawi Landcare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now with a new group of volunteers FOGL will start monitoring 4 sites across Lake King – at Pt Fullarton, Jones Bay, Macleods Morass and three sites on the Tambo River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

More sites will come on line with more ‘citizen science’ volunteers and when more testing kits become available through funding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sites are tested monthly for pH, salinity\/EC, turpidity, dissolved oxygen and nutrients using a range of calibrated instruments. Results are recorded on the CMA WaterWatch database<\/a> and compared with data collected prior to the pandemic pause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a long term program with FOGL actively recruiting new volunteers, providing training and support to monitor and safeguard this valuable natural and unique resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
