SEPA United States Environmental Protection Agency November 2019 Freshwater HABs Newsletter National Recreational Water Quality Workshop The Conservation Technology Information Center (CTIC), under a cooperative agreement with EPA's Office of Water, Office of Science and Technology will co-sponsor a national workshop on recreational water quality. The workshop will be in Chicago, Illinois April 21-24, 2020. The goal for this workshop is to aid recreational water managers, researchers, stakeholders and public health officials at all levels to share information and ideas about implementing and supporting a successful recreational water program. This workshop will focus on harmful algal blooms and fecal contamination. The workshop will provide information on tools, training and an opportunity to discuss strategies for managing and monitoring HABs and fecal contamination in recreational waters. The workshop will provide opportunities for sharing across programs on management of these issues. EPA is calling for abstracts starting December 4, 2019 and are due January 20, 2020. Registration will open January 6, 2020.
