Plankton are microscopic organisms that form the foundation of lake food webs and play a critical role in water quality and ecosystem health. By studying them, scientists gain important insight into how lakes are changing over time.

Today, plankton research is more important than ever. An invasive zooplankton, spiny water flea, has been detected in several of New Hampshire’s lakes, including Newfound. Though tiny, it can disrupt food webs, alter plankton communities, and trigger ripple effects throughout the ecosystem.

Join us for an engaging presentation and discussion on how plankton are monitored in New Hampshire lakes, what they reveal about lake health, and what we’re learning from lakes impacted by spiny water flea. We’ll also explore what this could mean for Newfound, and the steps lake users and communities can take to help prevent its spread.

This is a chance to look beneath the surface, ask questions, and better understand how small changes can have big consequences for New Hampshire’s lakes.
