2023 Water Monitoring Volunteers Needed

Fri, 26 May 2023 19:24:03 +0000

The Yoho Lake Water Monitoring Committee is looking for volunteers! Please see the following message from Dinah Stocker:

A group of volunteers monitor the quality of Yoho Lake water each summer in conjunction with several other lakes, YLA and the New Brunswick Lakes Association. We take measurements such as water clarity, pH levels, temperature, etc., at 4 specific coordinates on the lake. This way we can tell how well the lake can support fish, plants, birds, “our loons,” and so on. A “team” of monitors go out every second week and anticipate starting this year in mid-June.

We are looking for 4 volunteers, two people with boats and two additional people as monitors. We will have an experienced monitor “team up” with new volunteers. No experience is necessary just interest. The time commitment is a spring training/meeting; 2 “measurement sessions” (one July, one August) that take about 1-1.5 hours each and a final fall debriefing meeting.

To volunteer or for questions please contact Dinah Stocker at either 506-470-4608 (text or call) or email: bigdogz@bellaliant.net

NBALA Presents: Living by the Lake on Feb 25, 2023

Fri, 20 Jan 2023 14:14:12 +0000

Please see the following invitation from the New Brunswick Alliance of Lake Associations (NBALA):

The New Brunswick Alliance of Lake Associations will be holding the biennial conference on lake health on February 25, 2023 (10 am to 12:30; ZOOM). The theme this year is “Living by the Lake”. The challenge of living by the lake is to find a balance between enjoying the natural beauty and recreational opportunities while also protecting the fragile ecosystem of the lake. Whether a property owner is new to lake living or a generational cottage/home owner, we need to create an understanding that all human activity has the potential to impact lake health and this is amplified by the increase in water temperature secondary to climate change. Topics to be explored will include understanding water quality monitoring in relation to lake health; impact of development on shoreline management/remediation; protecting the role of wetlands in promoting biodiversity; and the impact of recreational activity on aquatic wildlife. A detailed program will be provided once speakers are confirmed.

For more information, watch this post for updates or contact Lee Penney at NBALA.

NBALA: Blue-Green Algae Reporting Procedures

Wed, 30 Jun 2021 17:13:21 +0000

Please read the following message from the NB Alliance of Lake Associations (NBALA):

To NBALA members

Now that the hot weather has arrived, it is particularly critical that we keep an eye open for signs of blue green algae blooms which can potentially be toxic to humans and pets. If a bloom is suspected at your lake, use the protocol outlined below to report it to the Department of Environment and Local Government (DELG).

Contact your lake association who will contact tje DELG Regional Office to notify them of the bloom and send DELG the completed bloom screening questionnaire found at http://www2.gnb.ca/content/dam/gnb/Departments/env/pdf/Water-Eau/Algae-Algues/AlgaeQuestionnaire.pdf).

DELG will then notify the respective Regional Medical Officer of Health and the Dept. of Justice and Public Safety Regional Office (Public Health Inspectors are now under this Dept) that an algae bloom has been reported for their followup.

More infomation about blooms can be found at https://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/ocmoh/healthy_environments/content/blue_green_algae.html This message will be posted on the NBALA Facebook page to be shared with individual lake associations.

June 28th, 2021 Blue-Green Algae

Wed, 30 Jun 2021 13:35:59 +0000

Please read the following message from Bonny Hoyt-Hallet on behalf of the Water Monitoring team:

As some of you may have noticed on a previous post there has been some observations of a potential algae bloom along the Yoho road lakeshore edge.

Each of you had or will be receiving a package this week containing info on keeping our lake healthy, In this is a document outlining information on algae blooms and what to do or not do.

With each bloom and this will not be the only one, we will not be sampling each one. Residents should notify the monitoring committee and myself as chair, of the location and observation, so we can keep a watchful eye and notify residents to be cautious.

We must assume that each is blue green algae and toxic and avoid the area for swimming / drinking and use by animals in the area of the bloom.

So far we have been lucky and these blooms are short lived and dissipate quickly. There is no facility in NB at present to test for toxins in blue green algae but work is ongoing through NBALA / UNB and RPC. All blue green algae is not toxic but for the sake of caution we must treat it as if it were.

Our lake has been posted as of last year as a result of that algae bloom. It is posted at the only semi public entrance to our lake that being the scout camp, these signs stay in place once a lake has been identified.

DELG and Public safety will not test each bloom so it is our role to do what we can to prevent blooms and be cautious when we see one and report it to your lake Executive or Monitoring Committee. The lake is being monitored every 2 weeks and is warm and low right now and susceptible to blooms.

Bonny Hoyt-Hallett
Chair Yoho lake monitoring committee

Call for Proposals for Creative Design Projects relating to Healthy Lake Ecosystems

Fri, 22 Jan 2021 11:30:47 +0000

Another note from Briana Cowie at the NB Alliance of Lake Associations:

Hi everyone,

Hope you are all staying safe & well. I am sending out this Call for Proposals for all NBALA lake association members to circulate. We would like to see more youth involved in our local lake associations and environmental efforts so we have created an opportunity for young people to contribute a creative design project that involves maintaining lake health.

The details are enclosed in the attached document. We ask that you share this widely on your social media, at your dinner tables, and with your friends & family. We will select 5 project proposals and individuals who are chosen will be provided compensation in exchange for their design as a part of our “Youth Ambassadorship” program. Interested individuals are asked to contact me by February 5th with their project ideas.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Let’s think of creative ways to get youth thinking about environmental management!

Thanks everyone.

Take care,

Briana

Tue, 22 Sep 2020 13:58:36 +0000

Updated post, September 23, 2020, 7:00am

We have received a response from the Department of Environment and Local Government:

Thank you for letting us know about the bloom on Yoho Lake near the outlet. In terms of questions or messaging around public health and algae blooms please see the webpages below from the Department of Health. If residents still have further questions they can call the Fredericton Public Health office at 453-2830.

Original post, September 22, 2020

Please note a potential bloom has been noted in the outlet and Bonny Hoyt-Hallet has notified the Department of Environment and Local Government.

Please take appropriate precautions and avoid water in that area.

For those drawing water from the lake, an alternative source is recommended as lake water should not be used for bathing or cooking until the area is clear.

We will update with more information when it is available.

Please refer to the government website on algae blooms / Cyanobacteria for more information.

August 25, 2020 Wildlife Spotlight: Modest Sphinx Moth

Tue, 25 Aug 2020 12:00:00 +0000

Over the weekend we spotted what initially looked like a green pine cone… until it squirmed. Turned out it was the caterpillar form of the Modest Sphinx Moth!

Adults are on wing from mid-June to mid-July in Canada. In the northern part of the range, there is one generation with adults on wing from may to July. Farther south, there might be two generations per year.

The larvae feed on poplar, willow and cottonwood species

University of New Brunswick Fish Research

Wed, 29 Jul 2020 11:18:43 +0000

A group with the University of New Brunswick is placing three nets in the Scout Camp area, marked by buoys. The will be sampling fish species in Yoho Lake over the next few days.

Please avoid visiting these areas and do not disturb the nets or buoys.

The information collected will be provided to the Yoho Lake Association.

Blue Green Algae Confirmation

Tue, 21 Jul 2020 12:00:09 +0000

The result of the water sample taken at the Scout Camp last week has been received and confirmed as Blue Green Algae.

We have attached an update from the Department of Health confirming that Blue Green Algae was detected in water samples taken at the lake last week. Please read more here: AlgaeSheet.pdf

Update: We have reached out to the Department of Health for more information, as many of our residents are expressing their concern and are looking for guidance. At this time we only have the sheet that they have provided as official information.

Update #2: Bonny Hoyt-Hallett wanted to add some further clarifying language:

As you know the sample of the algae bloom from the Scout Camp was sent away to Quebec for testing. They did a microscopic exam and determined it was a blue green algae bloom. As you are aware some types of blue-green algae are capable of producing toxins. This bloom was not tested for toxins but we treat all blooms as potentially toxic. Please refer to the question and answer sheet provided in the welcome package or on the websites referenced for further information regarding usage / cautions.

You will see that the references are related to the bloom area itself and being cautious as we enter the water, as blooms can move with wind shifts or can completely dissipate.

I have contacted RPC to encourage them to move forward with local testing including genetic testing. They have been considering this and my contact was well received .

Again, please review the material from the websites and govern yourself as you are comfortable.

Bonny Hoyt-Hallett

Blue-Green Algae Sightings

Fri, 10 Jul 2020 19:48:14 +0000

On Friday, July 10, 2020, some pictures were shared on Facebook which appear to show a bloom of blue-green algae by the Scouts Canada Lodge. The New Brunswick Department of Environment has visited the site to take samples that will be sent to a laboratory in Quebec for chemical analysis in order to determine what is present in the water and whether it poses a danger to users of the lake. The hope is that results will be returned by mid-week, next week.

The province has made available some general safety information about Blue-Green Algae on their website: https://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/ocmoh/healthy_environments/content/blue_green_algae.html. Please educate yourself by following the above link; we have provided some safety information below as well.

Some blue-green algae can produce toxins, which can cause skin, eye and throat irritation. More serious health effects such as gastrointestinal illness can occur if toxins are consumed.

Public Health recommends the safety advice below for all recreational water bodies including the ones with advisories. Its important to remember that just because you don’t see it in the area your swimming, it doesn’t mean its not present elsewhere. Our safety advice is primarily targeted at humans, for animal specific information, please talk to your veterinarian.

Safety advice includes:

Always check the water before entering and avoid using the water if algae is present

Do not swallow lake or river water when swimming, and always supervise young children and pets in recreational waters.

Bathe or shower immediately after swimming.

Do not enter the water with open cuts or sores.

Do not use water from areas with blue-green algae blooms for drinking or cooking. Boiling the water will not remove toxins. Always obtain drinking water from a clean and safe source.

Fish caught from water where algae are present should have all their organs removed and be rinsed well with clean drinking water before being cooked and eaten.

Even if no algae are present, it is recommended you shower with clean water after being in recreational waters.
