minnesota department of natural resourcesSpecial Volunteer OpportunityApril 11, 2024Monitoring Minnesota's lakes and streams:Track the health of our waters!With more than 92,000 miles of streams and over 12,000 lakes in Minnesota, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Volunteer Water Monitoring Program is gearing up for the 51st season of lake and stream water clarity monitoring across the state. We at the DNR are excited to support the MPCA in these efforts and hope you will too!Join today in tracking the health of our waters.How does it work?Volunteers conduct a simple water clarity test in a lake or stream at least twice a month during the summer. Lake volunteers:Can monitor any Minnesota lake.Need access to watercraft such as a canoe, kayak, paddleboat, or motorboat.Use a Secchi disk attached to a calibrated rope (provided by the MPCA) to measure water clarity. Simply lower the Secchi disk into the lake and record the depth when it disappears.Record readings and observations on the physical and recreational conditions of the lake and submit information at the end of the season.Monitor twice a month from May through September. Stream volunteers:Monitor any stream or river that flows year-round.Collect water samples from a bridge or stream bank.Use a Secchi tube (provided by the MPCA) to measure water clarity.Record readings and observations on the physical and recreational conditions of the stream and submit information at the end of the season.Monitor twice a month from April through September.Why is this important?Volunteer-collected data is used to help determine whether lakes and streams are meeting water quality standards designed to protect aquatic life and recreational activities like fishing and swimming. In some cases, the information gathered by volunteers is the only monitoring done on a particular lake or stream, making volunteer gathered data critical to protecting Minnesota waters.Interested?Join more than 1,400 Minnesotans who track the health of their favorite lake or stream — become a volunteer water monitor today!Natural resource volunteering:For more information on becoming a volunteer water monitor, go to the MPCA webpage.To see other natural resource volunteer activities available around the state, please refer to the DNR volunteer opportunities webpage. ...

As people head for the water, Minnesota DNR reminds them to prioritize their safety: With anglers, boaters, and paddlers taking advantage of the early ice-out across much of Minnesota, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is reminding anyone spending time around lakes, rivers, and ponds that water temperatures remain extremely low and unexpected falls can turn tragic.Each year, about one-third of fatal boating accidents happen during the cold water period and many instances involve victims who weren’t wearing a life jacket. Cold water can quickly incapacitate even strong swimmers and the most effective way to survive a fall in is to wear a life jacket that’s buckled or zipped.“Open-water enthusiasts are celebrating this year’s early ice-out, and we’re starting to see a lot of activity on water bodies throughout the state,” said Capt. Adam Block, boating law administrator for the DNR Enforcement Division. “Safety is vital year-round, but we urge people to double down on it this time of year because the consequences of falling into cold water can become severe extremely quickly.”Following are a few tips to keep in mind as this year’s open-water season commences:Wear a foam-filled life jacket. While inflatable life jackets are gaining in popularity, they might not fully inflate when the water is cold. Check manufacturer recommendations for specific instructions regarding water temperature.Ensure watercraft are registered and equipped with proper safety equipment. Before heading out on the water, check all equipment to ensure it functions properly.Distribute weight evenly and abide by manufacturers’ weight limits.Always use the engine cut-off device if the watercraft is equipped with one.Have a means of communication. People recreating around water should tell someone where they’re going and when they plan to return.Watch the weather.See the DNR’s cold water safety webpage:(mndnr.gov/safety/boatwater/cold-water.html) for more information about staying safe around or on cold water. ...

Launching boats might be difficult this spring as drought conditions persist:Minnesota boaters could find launching watercraft difficult this spring due to low water levels on many lakes and rivers. The lack of snow this winter and persistent dry conditions have left lakes without the normal spring recharge. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is working to repair boat ramps damaged over winter and will extend boat ramps when possible. However, it is not possible to extend boat ramps on waterbodies that are naturally shallow beyond the ramp. Boat ramps damaged by power loading are also a challenge to repair. A boater might be able to launch into the space at the end of the boat ramp — however, a buildup of the material moved by power loading settles beyond the ramp can prevent boaters from getting to deeper water.“With unusually low water levels, people launching larger boats and pontoons with longer trailers will need to pay extra special attention to ramp lengths and depths,” said Nancy Stewart, DNR water recreation consultant.In addition to repair work, DNR crews will use the month of April to put docks in. For DNR public access sites, dock-in dates are shown on LakeFinder (mndnr.gov/lakefinder); search for the lake then click on water access sites noted on the lake map to find dock details on the water access site webpage. Spring boaters should always anticipate and prepare for cold water conditions. This year, they should also watch out for obstructions such as rocks and sand bars that typically are not an issue for spring boaters. Stewart offers the following tips for launching boats in low water conditions: Launch slowly.Have a spotter in the boat while launching so trailer tires and boat axles don’t fall off the last plank where an existing blowhole might be present.Have hip boots or waders and a life jacket as it might help to get in the water and guide the boat or check the ramp for firmness and water depth.Lower the motor only after making sure there is enough water depth.Use a lake map as a guide to avoid shallow areas and watch for obstructions.Boaters who encounter problems at a DNR public access site can contact their local DNR office or the DNR Information Center at 888-646-6367. For public water access maps, state water trail maps and boating information, go to the DNR’s public water access webpage (mndnr.gov/wateraccess). ... See MoreSee Less
