The first of three Regional Lake Communities Symposia has been held by the Western Connecticut State University Department of Biology, the Connecticut Federation of Lakes and the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.  The topic last night was about emerging issues and threats to Connecticut lakes.  On November 14th, the forum will include an update on current lake research by grad students.  The event will be held in person in the Science Building on the midtown campus at 7pm.  The final discussion in the series, set for December 12th, will be about aquatic plants.
