The Utah HAB Squad is helping collect important real-time data on the status of harmful algal blooms (HABs) across the state during recreation season. Volunteers are asked to make frequent (weekly or every other week) observations of priority lake and stream sites to collect data on where and when HABs are showing up. We work directly with the Utah Division of Water Quality to identify priority sites and notify them when blooms are present, so the state can issue health advisories to the public.
