“The Mirror Lake Watershed Association is a volunteer nonprofit organization. They seek to “protect, educate, and advocate for Mirror Lake and its surrounding watershed by monitoring and improving the water quality, preserving and enhancing its ecological health and natural beauty, and raising and encouraging public awareness about the importance of mitigating environmental threats to the watershed.” They developed a response plan for when HABs occur on Mirror Lake in the village of Lake Placid, one of the busiest in the area for swimming and paddling.
The MLWA’s response plan, among other measures, states that members of the organization will place warning signs around popular lake access points once the HAB is confirmed, and alert boat rentals and hotels in the village. The plan can be accessed at https://tinyurl.com/4y89ztt4.”
