That’s yucky! Lake sediments, while not too appealing to the eye, are extremely important to the chemical and biological functioning of a lake. Sediments, if overlain by anoxic (oxygen devoid) water, can release compounds that can harm biota, fuel harmful algae blooms, and impact drinking water. Here, Certified Lake Manager Hillary Kenyon Garovoy is taking a sediment sample using an Ekman Dredge. #lakeandpondmanagement #sediment #limnology #aquaticlife #aquaticecology #harmfulalgalbloom #environment #sampling #rainyday
