We have TWO programs in March - Lakeshore Development and Natural Shoreline Protection to Preserve Biotic Health on 3-6 & Minnesota Ice-Out Forecast for 2025 on 3-7 -both at noon. Register here: itascawaters.org/water-wisdom...

"This year’s update includes a new lake search feature that allows users to quickly look up forecasts for specific lakes across Minnesota," said John Downing, Minnesota Sea Grant director and project leader. I heard it's even better than last year!

We hope you will be inspired each month to think about water in a new way. Please join us on February 6 for our first talk on freshwater jellyfish by registering in advance at itascawaters.org/water-wisdom.... For more information contact info@itascawaters.org.

We will review some known history of this invasive species in NA lakes and why they are being noticed more often now. While we have much to learn about these organisms, the talk will provide some insight into their life histories and ecology and how they might be affecting food webs in our lakes.

The first program to kick off the 2025 season at noon on February 6 will be Invasive Freshwater Jellyfish -- Why Are They Increasing So Fast and What Do They Do in Lakes? presented by Dr. Beatrix Beisner, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Quebec at Montreal, Canada.

Attendees will take away tips and strategies for maintaining the wonderful water resources we have in Minnesota. Every action we take can add up to a big win for clean water!

The free, online series on the first Thursday at noon every month will touch on topics about how we can keep our water drinkable, swimmable, and safe.
