Beach Monitoring Practices Webinar

It's summer and that means it's beach season. When it comes to recreational lakes and swimmable waters in the North Central Region, beach monitoring is an ongoing challenge for water resource managers and outreach professionals. Tune into this month's edition of The Current webinar as we hear about beach monitoring research and education efforts taking place in Indiana, Nebraska and Wisconsin.
