Hi,
 
We're hoping to work with volunteers to help us assess and identify algal growth in local lakes.  Our project is currently very fuzzy and is being considered because citizens are concerned about the effects that certain algal blooms can have upon children and pets.  Currently our efforts have been limited to a handful of informational workshops, but it seems like we could do so much more!  I'm hoping that some of you that have experience with such projects might be willing to share some words of wisdom or point me in a direction where I might learn more about project structure, reasonable outcomes or help in identifying potential weaknesses of a citizen science project.
 
Thanks,
 
 - Len
