Read the 2022 report on harmful algal bloom monitoring in Otsego Lake here. 


This site was created to be a resource for residents and visitors of Otsego County on harmful algal blooms, their risks, and the research and mitigation efforts happening in our county. Representatives from 15+ local agencies, municipalities, and organizations came together in May 2023 to better coordinate our efforts in addressing harmful algal blooms. Our partners include but are not limited to: Otsego County, Otsego County Conservation Association, Otsego Lake Association, Suny Oneonta Biological Field Station, and the Canadarago Lake Improvement Association.
