The second annual ThermoFischer Scientific Forum focuses on current efforts to monitor water quality of our lakes and presents steps to improve monitoring efforts. This forum brings together all stakeholders who are working in the field of water-quality monitoring, including university and government scientists and experts from private industry. A highlight of the program will be a discussion about creating a community-wide Secchi Disk program for our lakes. This is a program that has been created with great success for lakes worldwide, including lakes in northern Wisconsin, but has not yet been created in Dane County. It will be designed to involve citizens and community groups in helping monitor the water quality of local lakes.
