CLAMP is a volunteer lake monitoring program started in 1999 by Iowa Lakeside Lab and Friends of Lakeside Lab. Volunteers collect water samples throughout the summer on nine lakes in Dickinson County, Iowa. The goal of CLAMP is to provide long term monitoring data for algae conditions and educate local citizens about lake ecology. Click on the balloons below to see recent water quality data for that sampling location.

Secchi Disk training
To all CLAMP volunteers and others who are interested...check out the link below! It is from the Maine lake volunteer monitoring website. It is a really cool way to test your skills at using a Secchi disk for measuring water clarity on different lakes. Instructions are pretty easy to follow and should be a good way to practice for later this summer. Good luck!
