The Keuka Lake Association (KLA) held its annual membership meeting on July 11th at Keuka College, where members of the association came together to discuss important matters pertaining to the lake and its watershed. The meeting covered a range of topics, including updates on water quality including monitoring programs that help manage the health of the lake, combat harmful algae blooms (HABs) and invasive species, the Lake Friendly Farming (LFF) initiative, boating safety on and around the lake, the state of fish population, updates on lake level management, plus a number of guest presentations on topics of importance to the lake and watershed.

The Keuka Lake Association (KLA) Water Quality Committee is actively in the field now that summer is here.  Heavy spring rainfall, strong winds, and increased shoreline turbidity underscore the need for continued lake monitoring.  Reportsof dead fish in June were investigated with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) and were linked to stress from water temperature swing, spawning and perhaps run-off turbidity, facilitating infection by the opportunist water mold Saprolegnia paralytica. It resolved by July.
