This poster displays research by Danielle Garneau and her students at SUNY Plattsburgh to to determine whether microplastics were ingested by aquatic macroinvertebrates resident to Lake Champlain. This research was funded by Lake Champlain Sea Grant.
This rack card lists steps for boaters, regarding sewage, garbage, cleaning products, and aquatic invasives, to help keep Lake Champlain and other lakes clean and healthy.

This scientific journal article by Stephanie Hurley and others measured the nutrient loads of eight different bioretention systems in their third and fourth year of implementation. The study found these bioretention systems were successful at mitigating volume and peak flow retention, and reducing TSS concentrations, loads, and EMCs but not as successful at reducing the nutrient load of the water. The results suggest that increased storm size will negatively affect the nutrient removal efficiency of these systems.
Sign that describes how grass grows and part of an educational display showing real grass growing with roots visible. This project is part of the Raise the Blade campaign.
This scientific journal article by Stephanie Hurley and others assessed how design factors of bioretention systems influence flow rates and pollutant mass removal. This research compared the labile and nonlabile pollutant mass (TSS, N, and P species) captured or released by bioretention cells with different vegetation compositions and soil media treatments on an equal volume basis in eight roadside bioretention systems.
