Summer brings a full masthead of staff and a busy schedule to the Committee. On the policy front, we’ll be working actively to make sure the plans for modifying South Tufa (see page 4) are appropriate. Your comments are needed! Meanwhile, restoration scientists will be out in the field and statewide water issues (see page 11) will continue to receive attention. Plenty of education activities are underway as usual (see Seminars on pages 26–29).
Many people plan to visit the lake in the summer, and we have all the information and maps needed right here, starting on page 16. Can’t find what you’re looking for? Take a look at www.monolake.org for even more news, background, and information.
We’re also planning a Living Lakes restoration conference for this fall (page 9 and www.livinglakes.org), and some of our staff have recently been in Germany (thanks to a grant) for a conference at the Bodensee. In fact, parts of this newsletter were assembled via email from around the world, so we hope you enjoy this issue’s international flare. See you down at the lake!

Dust storms on Paoha Island make for a dramatic view of the lake from the US Forest Service Visitor Center patio on this windy day in April. |
