Description
Blooms of potentially toxic cyanobacteria have been happening more frequently around the country and locally in NH. This is a threat not only to human and animal health, but to our local economy as well!
The evening’s presentation, ‘Cyanobacteria – Its threat to you and Winnipesaukee!’, will feature Dr. James Haney, UNH Professor of Biology, who has been studying the potential impacts of these toxins for decades. The potential human health hazards via exposure through drinking water and/or during recreational water activities are also a concern. Some studies suggest cyanobacteria may be linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
Learn about the types of cyanobacteria, current management options, and what you can do to help minimize blooms. The talk will be held at the Carriage House, Church Landing at Mill Falls, Meredith, NH, 6:30-8pm. The talk is free; however due to limited space, pre-registration is required.
