Delegations:
- EAC attended Council with their summer student, Sukhman Sundu, and provided a presentation. They worked on compiling information and water testing with their main focus being water quality and understanding existing conditions and trends on Emma Lake. The main issue discovered is Eutrophication which is excessive nutrients that enter into the lake which then causes dense plant growth creating a lack of oxygen for the animals. She also explained that there are also a number of factors that are affecting eutrophication which are fertilizers, shoreline development, run-off, land clearing, and boat traffic. Education such as lake-friendly boating, encouraging shore-line vegetation, and reducing fertilizer will help with water quality.
