Yesterday was #WorldLakeDay!
Since 2014, researchers have monitored Buffalo Pound Lake to track bloom dynamics and deliver live data that helps provide clean drinking water to 25% of Saskatchewan.

DYK #worldlakeday was yesterday? In recognition of World Lake Day Australia's CSIRO shared details of their collaborative AquaWatch4Lakes work in Indonesia's Lake Tempe - the country which recommended a World Lake Day designation! We're delighted to promote them!

Checked out Lake #George for #WorldLakeDay 🌊 Just 60 mi from Lake #Champlain, but water levels tell a different story: while trending down its not as drastic as Champlain 📉
FACETS Board members Dr. John Smol and Dr. Steve Cooke (@sjcfishy.bsky.social), along with Dr. Sapna Sharma (@sapnasharma.bsky.social) reflect on #WorldLakeDay in this The Globe and Mail article ⤵️
Sharing a video of Catemaco 🇲🇽 for #WorldLakeDay, surrounded by the volcanic Sierra de Los Tuxtlas and some patches of the original rainforest. It’s one of the sampling sites in our eDNA project.

Today is the first #Worldlakeday. My contribution is a photo of a lake in Lake Placid, FL that I lived on decades ago. #Florida #lake #reflection 💧 🌎
Today is the first-ever #WorldLakeDay! 🌊🍁
Canada has more lakes than any country on Earth — with 563 larger than 100 km² (Gov. of Canada, 2024). Let’s celebrate the lakes that shape our land & communities.

Lakes in West Greenland where we study the arctic methane cycles.
"We celebrate all things that lakes do for us and spotlight the problems of #pollution, #climate change and #biodiversityloss that threaten their ecological integrity," states Suzanne McGowan, our department head of #AquaticEcology on the first UN #WorldLakeDay.
#Secure the lakes of our world!

Happy #WorldLakeDay from the English Lake District. Home to some pretty special lakes and some really great monitoring work #CumbrianLakesMonitoring #UKCEH_AquaEco
Happy #WorldLakeDay, where awareness is raised on the importance of lakes.
This study provides a social-ecological framework of Canadian lakes and serves as a tool to assess lakes for management to preserve aquatic ecosystem services. ▶️ buff.ly/mvsdpKp
“We need to celebrate World Lake Day by acknowledging the benefits we derive from lakes, and then by returning the favour by taking action to ensure that our lakes remain healthy”

It's #WorldLakeDay!
🌐 A year ago, Lake Sofia, Madagascar lost 90% of its water and was on the brink of collapse threatening livelihoods & world’s rarest duck. Thanks to research and community action the lake is full again.

Summer fun on the water may be winding down, but taking care of your lake and waterfront property is a year-round job. #WorldLakeDay ow.ly/u7ii50WN0C5
Aerial view of a green lake bordered by forest. Large white text on the left reads: “Protecting freshwater ecosystems like lakes is not optional. It is central to biodiversity, water, energy and food security, and offers climate resilience.” Beneath, attribution: “Inger Andersen, UNEP Executive Director.” UNEP logo in the top right corner.
“Lakes may seem remote, but their health determines our own.”
On #WorldLakeDay, UNEP Executive Director @ingerandersen.bsky.social warns that lakes are under siege and explains why their protection can’t wait.

Today is the first #WorldLakeDay, designated by the United Nations to raise awareness of the importance of #lakes. Discover just how vital these ecosystems are to life as we know it on Earth, & some of our work at PML using #satellite data to monitor & protect them: pml.ac.uk/news/celebra...
We published an article on the SHOAL website today, co-authored by partners at the IUCN and Shedd Aquarium, to mark the inaugural World Lake Day.👇

🦆 Happy #WorldLakeDay! 🇨🇦 is home to more lakes than any other country on Earth.
Lakes connect us all:
✨ Home to fish, birds & countless species
🌱 Nourishment for plants & ecosystems
🏞️ A source of joy, reflection & adventure for people
RT to celebrate these freshwater treasures. 💙
Social media image showing a silhouette of a person standing by a lake at dusk or dawn against a cloudy sky. Large white text reads "LET'S REVIVE OUR LAKES" with "Join #GenerationRestoration" below. Decorative elements include a yellow outlined bird, red butterflies, and green palm trees. The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021-2030 logo appears at the bottom, featuring colored curved lines. Blue fish illustrations swim in the water below. The image combines a natural lake scene with graphic design elements against a dark, atmospheric background.
Today is the first #WorldLakeDay! 🏞️ Lakes are vital #ForNature, climate resilience & freshwater supply, but are degrading rapidly.🌍🧪
Urbanization is a major cause of lake losses in many countries.

Thinking about #WorldLakeDay and reckon these would be a good idea : Pontoon floating pools
Ideal for lakes or reservoirs as they fit together like a jigsaw to allow for a variety of pool sizes.
Could be a great temporary project in our Inniscarra Reservoir, while we wait for our #LidoCork Project.

A new IAGLR survey shows how federal actions are disrupting Great Lakes science—lost data, careers, & collaboration. On #WorldLakeDay, we’re reminded that protecting freshwater means supporting both the science & the people behind it. 📖 https://bit.ly/ll26 #GreatLakes #FreshwaterScience
IAGLR is proud to join the global chorus on the first-ever #WorldLakeDay. Lakes are vital ecosystems—bridging biodiversity, human well‑being, and climate resilience. Let’s unite for their protection.
