New Hampshire Cyanobacteria Mitigation Projects

ongoing

A series of projects undertaken by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, lake associations, land trusts, and others to combat toxic cyanobacteria blooms in New Hampshire's ponds and lakes. These projects include erosion and stormwater runoff management, road and stormwater infrastructure improvements, planting vegetation along roads and water bodies, and chemical treatments as a last resort. The projects aim to restore and protect the state's water bodies from cyanobacteria blooms worsened by development, fertilizer runoff, and climate change.
