Catalyst

Most lakes lack a structured approach to monitoring and managing risks. Data is often scattered across old reports, testing is inconsistent, and volunteer boards are left scrambling to react to problems like algal blooms, sediment disruption, or invasive species. Just as important, communications with residents are usually ad hoc, leaving communities misinformed, disengaged, or even distrustful.

With Lake Pulse Catalyst, every element of your lake’s health and safety program is designed, built, and managed for you—so your community can move quickly from uncertainty to confidence. The subscription provides all the features, benefits, privileges of the Lake Admin subscription, plus:

• Science-Based Monitoring & Testing – A fully customized monitoring program built around your lake’s specific challenges, whether nutrient loading, invasive species, sediment disruption, or shoreline erosion. Lake Pulse handles scheduling, coordination, and data collection so you get reliable results without the logistical burden.
• Expert Guidance & Support – A Boathouse Expert visits your lake for onboarding and returns at year-end for a comprehensive review. In between, monthly alignment calls ensure steady progress, accountability, and expert input into key decisions—so you’re never left guessing what comes next.
• Centralized Lake Portal – A secure, digital home for all your information. Historic surveys, past consultant reports, and new monitoring results are uploaded and organized into one accessible platform. Instead of hunting through files or email chains, your entire lake history is at your fingertips, making continuity and institutional knowledge easy to maintain.
• Professional Communications Management – Lake Pulse takes on the communications role for your lake community, saving you hours of volunteer time and ensuring consistency:  1) Real-time alerts when water quality thresholds are exceeded, 2) Lake Status updates that keep everyone in the loop, 3) Project dashboards to show progress and build transparency, 4) Regular Field Notes written by our team to share observations, results, and updates in a professional yet accessible way
• Administrative Support & Handoff Planning – You remain a co-administrator throughout the process, with Lake Pulse handling the heavy lifting. Over time, we prepare your community to transition the Lake Admin role back to you, so you gain both an operational program and the confidence to run it sustainably.

From risk prevention to resident engagement, Catalyst ensures that no part of your lake’s management is left to chance. By the end of the year, you have not only a stronger lake but also a structured system you can rely on for years to come.
