How to resolve AdBlock issue? Clear Lake Integrated Science Symposium
Description
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Clear Lake Integrated Science Symposium, or CLISS 2024, will be the first scientific conference to focus on the Clear Lake watershed in more than two and a half decades.
CLISS 2024 will take place Aug. 15 and 16 at the Robinson Rancheria Conference Center, and feature researchers and practitioners from federal, state, county, and tribal agencies and nonprofit organizations.
This historic symposium will cover the latest developments in water quality monitoring, lake and lakebed management, and conservation and restoration efforts in the Clear Lake Watershed.
Attendees will gain unique insights into ongoing scientific research on issues that deeply concern all county residents: the risks associated with hazardous algal (cyanobacteria) blooms, changes to Clear Lake fish populations, how to get waterway projects approved through local and state permitting processes, the potential for volcanic eruptions, and mitigation strategies for Clear Lake.
While in-person attendance is limited to 250 participants, all sessions will be video-recorded and made available for future viewing on the Lake County Water Resources Department’s YouTube channel. Some portions will likewise be available for remote Zoom Webinar access.
Friday morning panels will feature local and state experts discussing fish and waterfowl population trends and changes in Clear Lake, and efforts to prevent and mitigate the negative effects of invasive species like goldfish, invasive mussels, and creeping yellow water primrose.
During afternoon sessions held simultaneously at the Robinson Rancheria Conference Center and the Habematolel Meeting Hall in Upper Lake, scientists and agency staff will cover in-lake, lakeside, landscape and waterway improvement and restoration projects (including “good fire,” or cultural burning), environmental permitting, local geology and stewardship efforts, Clear Lake water quality monitoring and modeling of lake parameters including nutrient loads, depths and currents.
To enhance public engagement with scientists, the symposium is also offering evening programming, including a Science Slam on Friday night at the Soper Reese Theater in downtown Lakeport.
Friday evening’s activities at the Soper Reese Theater are open to families. Accommodations are available for attendees with access and functional needs.
