## Description

The Cyanobacteria Monitoring Collaborative is dedicated to addressing the challenges posed by harmful cyanobacteria, commonly known as blue-green algae, which can disrupt aquatic ecosystems and pose health risks to humans and wildlife. The organization offers three coordinated programs: bloomWatch, cyanoScope, and cyanoMonitoring, aimed at harnessing community involvement and scientific expertise. 

Through the bloomWatch app, citizens can report sightings of potential cyanobacteria blooms, fostering public engagement and awareness. CyanoScope recruits trained citizen scientists to map the distribution of various cyanobacteria species, while cyanoMonitoring focuses on tracking population trends over time to identify seasonal patterns. Each initiative encourages participation from both professionals and community members, enhancing the collective understanding of these organisms and their impact on lakes.

By promoting education and proactive monitoring, the Cyanobacteria Monitoring Collaborative strives to mitigate the risks associated with cyanobacteria blooms, ensuring safer and healthier aquatic environments for all.
