Abstract
Fairview Lake suffered massive cyanobacteria and algal blooms in September of 2020. The Fairview Lake & Watershed Conservation Foundation (FL&WCF), a non-profit membership organization, responded by contracting with Aquatic Analysts Inc., a professional lake management company, to provide an analysis of the bloom. (Toxicity was below the NJDEP threshold. In cooperation with other Fairview Lake stakeholding organizations, the FL&WCF Board of Trustees subsequently took several actions. One such action was to ask the New Jersey City University Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences to conduct lake inflow streams mapping and analysis during the summer of 2021. This report describes the fieldwork research done by the NJCU team and documents the results.
