lake monitoring by Lumban CLEAR youth network |
|
 
An orientation-meeting was held on 01 September 2007 at the
Municipal Hall of Lumban to jumpstart the lake monitoring activity
(Community Lake Monitoring Network) in Lumban. The CLMN aims
to harness the youth in providing alternative monitoring
data on water quality of Laguna de Bay which would
complement the monitoring activities being done by the
Laguna Lake Development Authority.
The meeting,
which was attended by thirteen students from various schools in the
municipality, was hosted and coordinated by the municipal government
of Lumban. A briefing-orientation on the CLMN was conducted
during the meeting, and the use of secchi disc was
demonstrated, as well as how to record monitoring data.
