BloomGuard (Bundle)

Harmful algal blooms are a growing threat to public health, recreation, and ecosystem stability. Waiting until a bloom becomes visible is often too late—by then, damage may already be underway. BloomGuard empowers you to:

• Detect blooms early—before they become hazardous
• Monitor bloom activity across your entire lake or watershed
• Confirm the presence of toxins and species composition
• Justify decisions with credible, science-based data
• Protect your lake while avoiding unnecessary closures or alarm

It’s not just about reacting—it’s about staying ahead of the threat.

• Buoy: A compact buoy (3 month rental) that continuously tracks chlorophyll, temperature, and turbidity for early HAB detection. Quick to deploy and easy to return.
• Satellite Monitoring: Weekly satellite imagery focused on your lake, with alerts triggered only when bloom thresholds or meaningful changes are detected.
• Laboratory Sampling & Analysis: Six grab-sample kits (2 per month) for lab testing of algal species, toxins, and nutrient loads. Results uploaded to your Lake Pulse Portal within 2 weeks.

By the end of the 3-month program, you’ll have a multi-scale, evidence-based understanding of your lake’s bloom conditions—including presence, risk level, and trend direction. This actionable insight supports informed decisions about bloom response, lake use, and long-term planning. And with support from the Lake Pulse Boathouse, you’re never navigating these decisions alone.
