🎉 Celebrate 40 Years of Florida LAKEWATCH! 🎉
Join us for a special evening celebrating the people who make Florida LAKEWATCH possible and commemorating 40 years of citizen science and water quality monitoring!
Since 1986, Florida LAKEWATCH has grown into one of the nation's largest and most successful citizen science programs dedicated to water quality monitoring. For four decades, the program has empowered everyday Floridians to take an active role in monitoring the state's water resources, including lakes, rivers, estuaries, springs, and coastal dune lakes.
Come learn about LAKEWATCH research and volunteer monitoring efforts, visit booths hosted by our partner organizations, enjoy hands-on interactive activities, browse local artists and vendors, grab dinner from food trucks, and connect with fellow lake lovers from across Florida.
We're also excited to celebrate the release of Lake Lover Lager, a special commemorative beer brewed exclusively for Florida LAKEWATCH's 40th Anniversary by Gainesville's own First Magnitude Brewing Company. If you’d like to support undergrad and graduate student research we will be accepting donations. A $10 donation to Florida LAKEWATCH qualifies you for $1 off each beer throughout the event. Donors who contribute $20 or more will also receive a commemorative 40th Anniversary pint glass, while supplies last.
Whether you're a longtime volunteer, a community partner, or simply passionate about Florida's waters, we invite you to join us as we celebrate 40 years of science, community involvement, and the dedicated volunteers who help monitor Florida's waterbodies.
💙 We can't wait to celebrate with you!
