Annual Secchi Dip-In
It’s that time of year again! The annual Secchi Dip-In is just around the corner, so it’s time to dust of your Secchi disks and organize an event with your local lake stewardship group, or with friends and family during the month of July.
The Secchi Dip-In is an international event where volunteer monitors take a transparency measurement at least one day during the month of July (Lakes Appreciation Month). These values are used to assess the transparency of volunteer-monitored lakes in North America.
New this year: We have data sheets for returning participants and new participants. The forms can also be found on our website under Data Collection Forms. You can print the forms and scan them or fill them in directly on your computer. Completed forms can then be submitted on our website or sent by email to marie@bclss.org. Take some time to familiarize yourself with our new forms and submission platform!
Participation in the Dip-In has been steadily decreasing over the years. Please consider participating and pass along the information to anyone that may be interested. The data collected is very valuable!
Practice your dipping using this online simulator and watch this how to video from Lake Windermere Ambassadors!
