A public service announcement about road salt and how and why to minimize its use to protect our waterways.

This scientific journal article by Suzanne Levine analyzed the distribution and accumulation of P in varying parts of the Lake Champlain Basin. 11 core sites were determined around the lake and the cores were analyzed in a lab for stable isotopes, pigments, diatoms, nutrients, 210Pb dating, etc. The sediment accumulation rates between the different cores varied dramatically. Concentrations of P varied both spatially and temporally in the analyses. The analysis split the historic accumulation of P into four intervals of development in the Lake Champlain Basin, pre-settlement, early-settlement, mid-settlement, and modern.

Lake Champlain Sea Grant's Watershed Alliance hosted an educational STEM Watershed Science Fair in partnership with CFES Brilliant Pathways at their facility in Essex, New York in February 2020. Students learned about the watershed and its impact on the community in which they live.

With school closings in spring 2020 due to COVID-19, we remained committed to our mission to develop and share science-based knowledge to benefit the environment and economies of the Lake Champlain basin. Our Education Team responded with a webinar series featuring scientists and their research related to Lake Champlain and its watershed twice weekly.

This curriculum guide provides lesson plans for teaching grades 3-5 about watershed science and stewardship.
