2015 State of the Lake Summary
Lake Champlain Basin program released the 2015 State of the Lake. Summary and key points of the report include:
Over 85% of Lake Champlain’s water is consistently of excellent quality, with another 13% of usually good quality.
In the remaining 2% of the Lake – most notably in Missisquoi and Saint Albans Bays – the conditions are seasonally alarming, with excess nutrients triggering blue green algae blooms.
