Lake Coeur d’Alene faces numerous environmental challenges that require ongoing vigilance. One of the key programs in safeguarding the water quality of this lake is the Bay Watchers program.
A collaboration between the Idaho Water Resources Research Institute, the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, Idaho Department of Environmental Quality and local volunteers, Bay Watchers embodies the spirit of citizen science by engaging residents in water quality monitoring, which provides valuable data and fosters environmental stewardship among lake and bay communities.
