HRWC is pleased to be a partner of the Michigan Clean Water Corps, which leads Michigan’s premier volunteer lake monitoring program, the Cooperative Lakes Monitoring Program (or the CLMP).
Volunteers can visit MiCorps lake monitoring webpage to learn more and enroll their lakes in CLMP. Through the program, residents can sign up to monitor their lakes for a variety of water quality parameters, including:
- Secchi Disk Transparency
- Chlorophyll-a
- Total Phosphorus
- Dissolved Oxygen and Temperature
- Exotic Plants
- Full Aquatic Plant Mapping
- Score the Shore (lake shoreline habitat assessment)
Not sure if your lake is already part of the CLMP? Visit the MiCorps Data Exchange Network. Here you can search for your lake and discover whether CLMP monitoring has been conducted there in the past!
HRWC is part of MiCorps core leadership team and can answer questions regarding the CLMP program and guide volunteers in getting involved. If you’d like to reach out to us with questions about the CLMP or MiCorps more generally, fill out our Contact Us form to send HRWC a brief message. We will get back you!
