Managing Algae Problems is a practical guidance manual for lake associations and citizen managers. Together, Osgood and Gibbons have a century of experience. With an approach based on sound scientific research, they boil down a complicated topic in easy, understandable language and present simple decision criteria for those needing reliable advice for managing algae problems in lakes. The field of lake management has been tainted in recent years with algae management solutions high on promises, but short on outcomes. This book presents credible advice to get lake management started down the right path. Lake Advocates is dedicated to getting this information distributed widely, so we have produced a book that is easy to use, relevant, and affordable. The book is especially useful for lake managers, concerned lakeshore owners, lake association and water management boards.
