On 08/10/2022 from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm, Dr. Zhang’s group organized an outdoor workshop with Kelley Forsyth from Jersey Cares (www.jerseycares.org/careofthepark) at Branch Brook Park. This meeting is intended to engage high school and college students from the Youth Employee Group to learn about the water quality (e.g., algal bloom) challenges the waterways of Branch Brook Park are facing. Zhang’s group members presented three posters to highlight algae-related projects/research that is currently under the NJDEP funding support. We demonstrated to the participating students the current practices and solutions to mitigate HABs.
