2023 CyanoHABs Stakeholder Meeting

Oregon State University and Lakes Association held the 2023 Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Bloom Stakeholder Meeting  on Friday, March 17, 2023

At this annual meeting, stakeholders share information on recent blooms and any changes in regulations and bloom management. Those with new interests in or management responsibilities for HABs in lakes and reservoirs will find this a good meeting to make connections with people in Oregon who are knowledgeable about HABs. 

Many thanks to the panelists and participants for taking part in this event! If you'd like to review the talks or were not able to attend,  YouTube recordings of the talks and the slides presented are available at the link below. 

WATCH THE 2023 CYANOHABS MEETING NOW

January 23, 2023 Colloquium on the exceptional hypersaline ecosystem at Oregon’s Lake Abert


WATCH THE COLLOQUIUM RECORDING NOW

Lake Abert was dry during the summers of 2021 and 2022, thereby denying vital habitat to hundreds of thousands of shorebirds that feast on the bounty of the lake’s exceptional hypersaline habitat. This is an ecological calamity with potential dire consequences for the survival of some bird populations.

This Colloquium aims to present current knowledge on the lake and its ecology.  You will hear about its amazing capacity to produce shrimp and fly invertebrates that birds feast on, and about the birds that visit Lake Abert. You will also hear about how climate is changing and how we think those changes will affect the landscape in the Chewaucan valley surrounding Lake Abert.

We present the science of Lake Abert as information to be used for decisions that we hope will help preserve the lake ecosystem.
