The Chautauqua Institution, Sheldon Foundation, and other donors helped fund the Jefferson Project, which studies water quality and Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs).

The Chautauqua Institution is thrilled to announce a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to preserve and enhance the quality of Chautauqua Lake. Thanks to the collective action and support of the New York State Senate, Assembly, and Governor Hochul, $1 million has been earmarked for Chautauqua Lake in the state's budget proposals. This allocation is part of a larger commitment of $250 million dedicated to clean water projects across New York State. Michael E. Hill, President of the Chautauqua Institution, celebrates this achievement as a pivotal advancement in science-based conservation efforts aimed at addressing the urgent challenges faced by Chautauqua Lake. Through comprehensive monitoring and targeted mitigation strategies, this funding will serve as a cornerstone in the endeavor to rejuvenate the lake, ensuring it remains a vibrant and healthy resource for residents, visitors, and future generations. This development not only highlights the significance of Chautauqua Lake but also underscores our collective responsibility towards preserving our natural water bodies. The Chautauqua Institution remains committed to this cause, working tirelessly alongside the community, researchers, and policymakers to foster a sustainable future for Chautauqua Lake and other freshwater ecosystems throughout the state.

Native Plant Buffer Bonanza

In August, Chautauqua Marina stepped up to make a difference, hosting a truly inspiring benefit for the Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy. The event was a celebration of all things green, with a native plant sale that will have your garden blooming in no time. And for those who wanted to learn more, the educational lakeside buffer walks were the perfect opportunity to get up close and personal with the environment. It was a day filled with community spirit, education, and a deep commitment to preserving the beauty of Chautauqua Lake for generations to come.
