| abstract | The National Lake Blitz is an annual volunteer citizen science program with the goal of encouraging the widespread monitoring of lakes across Canada. At their chosen lake from May to September, Lake Blitz volunteers collect temperature readings, shoreline photos of their location and the colour of the water, and more. Participants gain a firsthand understanding of how climate and other impacts are affecting lake health and biodiversity. The program also aims to promote improved water literacy through monitoring and to foster a national network of lifelong lake stewards. All the data that’s collected is added to the interactive Lake Observation Map that can be viewed in real time. The Living Lakes Canada Lake Blitz team is delighted to present the outcomes of the first three years of the National Lake Blitz program. This report is a celebration of the program’s achievements, a tribute to lake stewardship, and a glimpse into the remarkable efforts of hundreds of volunteers across Canada. It showcases stories and data from volunteers nationwide, exemplifying the diverse expressions of lake stewardship in the face of a changing climate and biodiversity loss. |
