The New Hampshire Lakes Lay
Monitoring (LLMP) is dedicated to preservation and
sound management of lakes through citizen-based
monitoring and research. Begun at the University of
New Hampshire over two decades ago as one of the
first citizen monitoring programs, the LLMP has
been directly involved in the initiation and
expansion of volunteer programs in 24 States and 11
countries. The first lake lay monitoring program in
Germany was based on the NH LLMP. Through its
integration of research, outreach and teaching, the
LLMP provides valuable data on the lakes of New
Hampshire, broad community service and a unique
opportunity for hands-on learning and employment of
students. The program continues to receive local
and national recognition as one of the leading lake
monitoring programs in the country. The LLMP is
administered jointly through the Cooperative
Extension and the Center for Freshwater Biology at
the University of New Hampshire. |
